A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Reliable Multicast Transport Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Forward Error Correction (FEC) Building Block
	Author(s)	: M. Watson, et al.

This document describes how to use Forward Error Correction (FEC)
   codes to efficiently provide and/or augment reliability for data
   transport.  This document defines a framework for the definition of
   the information that needs to be communicated in order to use an FEC
   code for delivering content, in addition to the encoded data itself,
   and for definition of formats and codes for communcation of that
   information.  Both information communicated with the encoded data
   itself and information that needs to be communicated 'out-of-band'
   are considered.  The procedures for specifying new FEC codes,
   defining the information communication requirements associated with
   those codes and registering them with the Internet Assigned Numbers
   Authority (IANA) are also described.  The requirements on Content
   Delivery Protocols which wish to use FEC codes defined within this
   framework are also defined.  The companion document titled, "The Use
   of Forward Error Correction (FEC) in Reliable Multicast" describes
   some applications of FEC codes for delivering content.
