Abstract:
This document introduces some Forward Error Correction (FEC) schemes that
supplement the FEC schemes described in RFC 3452. The primary benefits of these additional FEC schemes
are that they are designed for reliable bulk delivery of large objects using a more compact
FEC Payload ID, and they can be used to sequentially deliver blocks of an object of
indeterminate length. Thus, they more flexibly support different delivery models with less
packet header overhead. This document also describes the Fully-Specified FEC
scheme corresponding to FEC Encoding ID 0. This Fully-Specified FEC scheme requires no FEC
coding and is introduced primarily to allow simple interoperability testing between
different implementations of protocol instantiations that use the FEC building block. This
memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.
