Abstract:
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.
