"FECFRAME requirements", Mark Watson, 3-Dec-07. ( bytes)

This document defines requirements for a "FEC Framework" to be defined by the IETF FECFRAME working group. The object of this group is primarily to develop specifications for using forward error correction (FEC) codes with applications in the Internet to provide protection against packet loss.

"Forward Error Correction (FEC) Framework", Mark Watson, 16-Nov-07. ( bytes)

This document describes for a framework for using forward error correction (FEC) codes with applications in public and private IP networks to provide protection against packet loss. The framework supports applying Forward Error Correction to arbitrary packet flows over unreliable transport and is primarily intended for real-time, or 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.

"SDP Elements for FEC Framework", Ali Begen, 9-Feb-08. ( bytes)

This document specifies the use of Session Description Protocol (SDP) to describe the parameters required to signal the Forward Error Correction (FEC) Framework Configuration Information between the sender(s) and receiver(s). This document also provides the semantics for grouping multiple source and repair flows together for the applications that simultaneously use multiple instances of the FEC Framework.
