The MPEG-2 TS has been widely accepted not only for providing digital TV services but also as a subnetwork technology for building IP networks. Examples of systems using MPEG-2 include the Digital Video Broadcast (DVB) and Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) Standards for Digital Television.\n\n The document identifies the need for a set of Internet standards defining the interface between the MPEG-2 Transport Stream and an IP subnetwork. It suggests a new encapsulation method for IP datagrams and proposes protocols to perform IPv6/IPv4 address resolution, to associate IP packets with the properties of the Logical Channels provided by an MPEG-2 TS. This memo provides information for the Internet community.", "pub_date": "December 2005", "keywords": [ "digital television", "dvb", "digital video broadcast", "atsc", "advanced television systems committee" ], "obsoletes": [], "obsoleted_by": [], "updates": [], "updated_by": [], "see_also": [], "doi": "10.17487/RFC4259", "errata_url": null }
