RTP Payload Format for 1-D Interleaved Parity
Forward Error Correction (FEC)
Abstract
This document defines a new RTP payload format for the Forward Error
Correction (FEC) that is generated by the 1-D interleaved parity code
from a source media encapsulated in RTP. The 1-D interleaved parity
code is a systematic code, where a number of repair symbols are
generated from a set of source symbols and sent in a repair flow
separate from the source flow that carries the source symbols. The
1-D interleaved parity code offers a good protection against bursty
packet losses at a cost of reasonable complexity. The new payload
format defined in this document should only be used (with some
exceptions) as a part of the Digital Video Broadcasting-IPTV (DVB-
IPTV) Application-layer FEC specification.
