Abstract:
   This document introduces a generic Application Programming Interface
   (API) for sliding window FEC codes.  This API is meant to be
   compatible with any sliding window FEC code.  It defines the core
   procedures and functions meant to control the codec (i.e.,
   implementation of the FEC code), but leaves out all upper layer
   aspects that are the responsibility of the application or protocol
   making use of the codec.  As a consequence, this is not an API for a
   FEC Scheme since certain mechanisms that must be defined by any FEC
   Scheme (e.g., signalling and FEC Payload IDs) are the responsibility
   of the caller instead of being addressed by the codec.  A goal of
   this document is to pave the way for a future open-source
   implementation of such codes, another goal is to simplify the
   development of content delivery protocols that rely on sliding window
   FEC codes for robust transmissions.
