Asynchronous Layered Coding Protocol Instantiation
RFC 3450, “Asynchronous Layered Coding Protocol Instantiation”, is an Experimental document published in December 2002 by M. Luby, J. Gemmell, L. Vicisano, L. Rizzo, J. Crowcroft. It has been obsoleted by RFC 5775 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes the Asynchronous Layered Coding (ALC) protocol, a massively scalable reliable content delivery protocol. Asynchronous Layered Coding combines the Layered Coding Transport (LCT) building block, a multiple rate congestion control building block and the Forward Error Correction (FEC) building block to provide congestion controlled reliable asynchronous delivery of content to an unlimited number of concurrent receivers from a single sender. This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.
What “Experimental” means
Describes a specification that is part of a research or development effort, published so the community can gain experience with it.
