Unidirectional Lightweight Encapsulation for Transmission of IP Datagrams over an MPEG-2 Transport Stream
RFC 4326, “Unidirectional Lightweight Encapsulation for Transmission of IP Datagrams over an MPEG-2 Transport Stream”, is a Proposed Standard document published in December 2005 by G. Fairhurst, B. Collini-Nocker. It has since been updated by RFC 7280. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The MPEG-2 Transport Stream (TS) has been widely accepted not only for providing digital TV services, but also as a subnetwork technology for building IP networks.
This document describes a Unidirectional Lightweight Encapsulation (ULE) mechanism for the transport of IPv4 and IPv6 Datagrams and other network protocol packets directly over the ISO MPEG-2 Transport Stream as TS Private Data. ULE specifies a base encapsulation format and supports an extension format that allows it to carry additional header information to assist in network/Receiver processing. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
