This document describes the process of binding/associating IPv4/IPv6

addresses with MPEG-2 Transport Streams (TS).  This procedure is known

as Address Resolution (AR) or Neighbor Discovery (ND).  Such address

resolution complements the higher-layer resource discovery tools that

are used to advertise IP sessions.



In MPEG-2 Networks, an IP address must be associated with a Packet ID

(PID) value and a specific Transmission Multiplex.  This document

reviews current methods appropriate to a range of technologies (such

as DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting), ATSC (Advanced Television Systems

Committee), DOCSIS (Data-Over-Cable Service Interface Specifications),

and variants).  It also describes the interaction with well-known

protocols for address management including DHCP, ARP, and the ND

protocol.  This memo provides information for the Internet community.



This document is a product of the IP over DVB

Working Group of the IETF.





INFORMATIONAL: This memo provides information for the Internet community. 

It does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Distribution
