The Annex E of the DVB-IPTV technical specification defines an
optional Application-layer Forward Error Correction (AL-FEC) protocol
to protect the streaming media carried over RTP transport.  The DVB-
IPTV AL-FEC protocol uses two layers for FEC protection.  The first
(base) layer is based on the 1-D interleaved parity code.  The second
(enhancement) layer is based on the Raptor code.  By offering a
layered approach, the DVB-IPTV AL-FEC protocol offers a good
protection against both bursty and random packet losses at a cost of
decent complexity.  This document describes how one can implement the
DVB-IPTV AL-FEC protocol by using the 1-D interleaved parity code and
Raptor code that have already been specified in separate documents.
