Layered Coding Transport Building Block
RFC 3451, “Layered Coding Transport Building Block”, is an Experimental document published in December 2002 by M. Luby, J. Gemmell, L. Vicisano, L. Rizzo, M. Handley, J. Crowcroft. It has been obsoleted by RFC 5651 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Layered Coding Transport (LCT) provides transport level support for reliable content delivery and stream delivery protocols. LCT is specifically designed to support protocols using IP multicast, but also provides support to protocols that use unicast. LCT is compatible with congestion control that provides multiple rate delivery to receivers and is also compatible with coding techniques that provide reliable delivery of content. 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.
