FCAST: Object Delivery for the Asynchronous Layered Coding and NACK-Oriented Reliable Multicast Protocols
RFC 6968, “FCAST: Object Delivery for the Asynchronous Layered Coding and NACK-Oriented Reliable Multicast Protocols”, is an Experimental document published in July 2013 by V. Roca, B. Adamson. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document introduces the FCAST reliable object (e.g., file) delivery application. It is designed to operate either on top of the underlying Asynchronous Layered Coding (ALC) / Layered Coding Transport (LCT) reliable multicast transport protocol or the NACK-Oriented Reliable Multicast (NORM) transport protocol.
What “Experimental” means
Describes a specification that is part of a research or development effort, published so the community can gain experience with it.
