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]

This document is a product of the Reliable Multicast Transport Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.

STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet standards track
protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the Internet
Official Protocol Standards (STD 1) for the standardization state and
status of this protocol.  Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
