       Title           : Requirements for transmission of IP datagrams 
over MPEG-2 networks

This document contains requirements for a framework for transport of
IP Datagrams over ISO MPEG-2 Transport Streams (TS). The MPEG-2 TS
has been widely accepted not only for providing digital TV services,
but also as a subnetwork technology for building IP networks.
Examples include the Digital Video Broadcast (DVB), specified by
standards published by the European Telecommunications Standards
Institute (ETSI) and the ATSC Digital Television Standard specified
by the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC). 
It identifies the need for the definition of a set of network
protocols to standardise the interface between the MPEG-2 Transport
Stream and an IP subnetwork. It also suggests an optimised
encapsulation method for IP datagrams. The requirements for these
functions are described, and a framework proposed for their
implementation.

In the body type:

NOTE:   The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
       MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
       feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
       command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
       a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
       exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
       "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
       up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
       how to manipulate these messages.
