Received changes through RFC Editor sync (created alias RFC 8680, changed abstract to 'RFC 6363 describes a framework for using Forward Error Correction (FEC) codes to provide protection against packet loss.  The framework supports applying FEC to arbitrary packet flows over unreliable transport and is primarily intended for real-time, or streaming, media.  However, FECFRAME as per RFC 6363 is restricted to block FEC codes.  This document updates RFC 6363 to support FEC codes based on a sliding encoding window, in addition to block FEC codes, in a backward-compatible way.  During multicast/broadcast real-time content delivery, the use of sliding window codes significantly improves robustness in harsh environments, with less repair traffic and lower FEC-related added latency.', changed pages to 19, changed standardization level to Proposed Standard, changed state to RFC, added RFC published event at 2020-01-14, changed IESG state to RFC Published, created updates relation between draft-ietf-tsvwg-fecframe-ext and RFC 6363)
