RFC 3450: Asynchronous Layered Coding (ALC) Protocol Instantiation

This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 5775.

Current version: RFC 5775 — Asynchronous Layered Coding (ALC) Protocol Instantiation

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

This document describes the Asynchronous Layered Coding (ALC) protocol, a massively scalable reliable content delivery protocol. Asynchronous Layered Coding combines the Layered Coding Transport (LCT) building block, a multiple rate congestion control building block and the Forward Error Correction (FEC) building block to provide congestion controlled reliable asynchronous delivery of content to an unlimited number of concurrent receivers from a single sender. This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.
