This document describes an architecture for the transport of IPDatagrams over ISO MPEG-2 Transport Streams (TS). The MPEG-2 TS hasbeen widely accepted not only for providing digital TV services butalso as a subnetwork technology for building IP networks. Examples ofsystems using MPEG-2 include the Digital Video Broadcast (DVB) andAdvanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) Standards for DigitalTelevision. The document identifies the need for a set of Internetstandards defining the interface between the MPEG-2 Transport Streamand an IP subnetwork. It suggests a new encapsulation method for IPdatagrams and proposes protocols to perform IPv6/IPv4 addressresolution, to associate IP packets with the properties of the LogicalChannels provided by an MPEG-2 TS. This memo provides information forthe Internet community.
