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. |
