The IESG has received a request from the Peer to Peer Streaming Protocol WG (ppsp) to consider the following document: - 'PPSP Tracker Protocol-Base Protocol (PPSP-TP/1.0)' <draft-ietf-ppsp-base-tracker-protocol-10.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2015-10-08. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document specifies the base Peer-to-Peer Streaming Protocol- Tracker Protocol (PPSP-TP/1.0), an application-layer control (signaling) protocol for the exchange of meta information between trackers and peers. The specification outlines the architecture of the protocol and its functionality, and describes message flows, message processing instructions, message formats, formal syntax and semantics. The PPSP Tracker Protocol enables cooperating peers to form content streaming overlay networks to support near real-time Structured Media content delivery (audio, video, associated timed text and metadata), such as adaptive multi-rate, layered (scalable) and multi-view (3D) videos, in live, time-shifted and on-demand modes. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ppsp-base-tracker-protocol/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ppsp-base-tracker-protocol/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
