BoF Description --------------- The MPEG-2 Transport Stream provides a transmission network that has become widely use to support digital TV broadcast, including: DVB, DAB, ATSC, ISDB-T. These and related standards define a set of commercially available components that are increasingly being used to provide a general-purpose packet transmission network. MPEG-2 Transport networks are being used to build IP networks to supplement broadcast TV/audio services and also to provide one-way and two-way IP-only subnetworks. The BOF will explore how the IETF might work to define documents that describe the protocols required to build a complete IPv4/IPv6 unicast/multicast service, and the mappings that are needed to perform address resolution, etc. A set of Internet Drafts will be reviewed describing requirements, and some proposed protocols References: http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/ip-dvb/ Requirements for transmission of IP datagrams over MPEG-2/DVB networks http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-fair-ipdvb-req-03.txt Simple Encapsulation for transmission of IP datagrams over MPEG-2/DVB networks Status ... http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-clausen-ipdvb-enc-01.txt Ultra Lightweight Encapsulation (ULE) for transmission of IP datagrams over MPEG-2/DVB networks http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-fair-ipdvb-ule-00.txt Address Resolution for IP datagrams over MPEG-2 networks http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-fair-ipdvb-ar-00.txt To subscribe to the mailing list: send "subscribe ip-dvb" in the BODY part of an email to "majordomo@erg.abdn.ac.uk" The mailing list archives are at: http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/ip-dvb/archive
