The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Forward-shifted RTP Redundancy Payload Support' (draft-ietf-avt-forward-shifted-red-08.txt) as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Audio/Video Transport Core Maintenance Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Robert Sparks and Gonzalo Camarillo. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-avt-forward-shifted-red/ Technical Summary This document defines a simple enhancement to RFC 2198 to support RTP sessions with forward-shifted redundant encodings, i.e., redundant data sent before the corresponding primary data. Forward-shifted redundancy can be used to conceal losses of a large number of consecutive media frames (e.g., consecutive loss of seconds or even tens of seconds of media). Working Group Summary The need for this work was questioned at the outset, but the arguments advanced in its favour were sufficient to satisfy the people concerned. As a result of its very specific scope, the work drew comments from few people, but the Document Shepherd is satisfied that the reviews were sufficient. Document Quality Colin Perkins bears special mention for his careful reviews at the beginning and during Working Group Last Call. Media type review was posted on January 4, 2010. Personnel The document shepherd is Tom Taylor. The responsible AD is Robert Sparks _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
