Abstract

   The RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol) payload format for generic
   forward error correction allows RTP participants to improve loss
   resiliency through the use of traditional parity-based channel codes.
   This payload format requires four new MIME types, audio/parityfec,
   video/parityfec, text/parityfec and application/parityfec.  This
   document serves as the MIME type registration for those formats.

1 Introduction

   The RTP payload format for generic forward error correction [1]
   allows RTP participants to improve loss resiliency through the use of
   traditional parity-based channel codes.  This payload format requires
   four new MIME types, audio/parityfec, video/parityfec,
   text/paritfyfec and application/parityfec.  RFC 2048 [2] defines
   procedures for registration of new MIME types within the IETF tree.
   Furthermore, the Audio/Video Transport working group has defined
   additional procedures that must be followed when registering RTP
   payload formats [3].  This document serves as the MIME type
   registration for those formats based on those procedures.
