RFC 3451: Layered Coding Transport (LCT) Building Block

This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 5651.

Current version: RFC 5651 — Layered Coding Transport (LCT) Building Block

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

Layered Coding Transport (LCT) provides transport level support for reliable content delivery and stream delivery protocols. LCT is specifically designed to support protocols using IP multicast, but also provides support to protocols that use unicast. LCT is compatible with congestion control that provides multiple rate delivery to receivers and is also compatible with coding techniques that provide reliable delivery of content. This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.
