IP over MPEG-2/DVB Transport BOF (ipdvd) Wednesday, November 12 at 0900-1130 =================================== CHAIR: Gorry Fairhurst DESCRIPTION: The MPEG-2 Transport Stream provides a transmission network that has become widely use to support digital TV broadcast, including: DVB, 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. This BOF will focus on protocol documents to build a complete IPv4/IPv6 unicast/multicast service, and to define mappings needed to perform address resolution, etc. AGENDA: Agenda Bashing (5 minutes) - Election of scribes (jabber scribe?)
