This draft is a work item of the Reliable Multicast Transport Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Compact Forward Error Correction (FEC) Schemes
	Author(s)	: M. Luby, L. Vicisano

This document introduces some Forward Error Correction (FEC) schemes
that supplement the FEC schemes described in RFC 3452 [6]. The primary
benefits of these additional FEC schemes are that they are designed for
reliable bulk delivery of large objects using a more compact FEC Payload
ID, and they can be used to sequentially deliver blocks of an object of
indeterminate length. Thus, they more flexibly support different
delivery models with less packet header overhead.
This document also describes the Fully-Specified FEC scheme
corresponding to FEC Encoding ID 0. This Fully-Specified FEC scheme
requires no FEC coding and is introduced primarily to allow simple
interoperability testing between different implementations of protocol
instantiations that use the FEC building block.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
