The IESG has received a request from the FEC Framework WG (fecframe) to consider the following document: - 'Simple Reed-Solomon Forward Error Correction (FEC) Scheme for FECFRAME' <draft-ietf-fecframe-simple-rs-04.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2012-10-22. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document describes a fully-specified simple FEC scheme for Reed- Solomon codes over GF(2^^m), with 2 <= m <= 16, that can be used to protect arbitrary media streams along the lines defined by the FECFRAME framework. Reed-Solomon codes belong to the class of Maximum Distance Separable (MDS) codes which means they offer optimal protection against packet erasures. They are also systematic codes, which means that the source symbols are part of the encoding symbols. The price to pay is a limit on the maximum source block size, on the maximum number of encoding symbols, and a computational complexity higher than that of LDPC codes for instance. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-fecframe-simple-rs/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-fecframe-simple-rs/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
