A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.
Title : Forward Error Correction (FEC) Framework
Author(s) : M. Watson
Filename : draft-watson-fecframe-framework-00.txt
Pages : 29
Date : 2006-10-17
This document provides an initial proposal for a framework for using
forward error correction (FEC) codes with applications in the
Internet to provide protection against packet loss. The framework
supports applying Forward Error Correction to arbitrary packet flows
and is primarily intended for streaming media. This framework can be
used to define Content Delivery Protocols that provide Forward Error
Correction for streaming media delivery or other packet flows.
Content Delivery Protocols defined using this framework can support
any FEC Scheme (and associated FEC codes) which is compliant with
various requirements defined in this document. Thus, Content
Delivery Protocols can be defined which are not specific to a
particular FEC Scheme and FEC Schemes can be defined which are not
specific to a particular Content Delivery Protocol.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-watson-fecframe-framework-00.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
