Layered Coding Transport Building Block
RFC 5651, “Layered Coding Transport Building Block”, is a Proposed Standard document published in October 2009 by M. Luby, M. Watson, L. Vicisano. It obsoletes RFC 3451. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Layered Coding Transport (LCT) Building Block provides transport level support for reliable content delivery and stream delivery protocols. LCT is specifically designed to support protocols using IP multicast, but it 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 document obsoletes RFC 3451. [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.
