MAD project implemented two protocols designed for reliable content
|
||
|
delivery. File Delivery over Unidirectional Transport (FLUTE) is a
|
||
|
protocol for the unidirectional delivery of files over the Internet,
|
||
|
which is particularly suited to multicast networks. FLUTE builds on
|
||
|
Asyncronous Layered Coding (ALC), the base protocol designed for
|
||
|
massively scalable multicast distribution. 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.
|
||
|
|
||
|
MAD-ALCLIB library is an implementation of the ALC/LCT protocol, along
|
||
|
with the RLC congestion control protocol and Compact No-Code, Simple
|
||
|
XOR and Reed-Solomon FEC schemes. Session Description Protocol (SDP)
|
||
|
can be used to describe FLUTE sessions. MAD-SDPLIB library is an
|
||
|
implementation of "SDP Descriptors for FLUTE" Internet-Draft.
|
||
|
MAD-FLUTELIB is an implementation of the FLUTE protocol, and it builds
|
||
|
on MAD-ALCLIB and MAD-SDPLIB libraries. MAD-FLUTE is a multicast file
|
||
|
transfer tool build on the above mentioned libraries.
