The IESG has received a request from the FEC Framework WG (fecframe) to consider the following document: - 'Simple LDPC-Staircase Forward Error Correction (FEC) Scheme for FECFRAME' <draft-ietf-fecframe-ldpc-02.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 2012-10-01. 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 LDPC- Staircase codes that can be used to protect media streams along the lines defined by the FECFRAME framework. These codes have many interesting properties: they are systematic codes, they perform close to ideal codes in many use-cases and they also feature very high encoding and decoding throughputs. LDPC-Staircase codes are therefore a good solution to protect a single high bitrate source flow, or to protect globally several mid-rate flows within a single FECFRAME instance. They are also a good solution whenever the processing load of a software encoder or decoder must be kept to a minimum. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-fecframe-ldpc/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-fecframe-ldpc/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
