Done Submit Initial Draft for Congestion Control Done Complete building-block drafts WG Last-Call and submit for publication as Proposed Standard Done Complete building blocks and protocol instantiations for ALC and submit for publication as Experimental RFC Done WG Decision on whether to pursue the router-assist building block work. These milestones may have to be modified accordingly Done Submit WEBRC (congestion control building block) for publication as Experimental Done Submit NACK building block and protocol instantiation for publication as Experimental Done Evaluate when and how the RMT Experimental specifications will be submitted for publication as Proposed Standard, and update this charter accordingly Sep 2005 Submit remaining congestion control building blocks (TFMCC, PGMCC) for publication as Experimental Dec 2005 Submit all the RMT Eperimental Specifications published before July 05 for publication as Proposed Standard Apr 2006 Submit all remaining RMT Eperimental Specifications for publication as Proposed Standard Internet-Drafts: Posted Revised I-D Title ------ ------- -------------------------------------------- Jul 2005 Aug 2009 Layered Coding Transport (LCT) Building Block Jul 2005 Jul 2009 Asynchronous Layered Coding (ALC) Protocol Instantiation Oct 2005 Aug 2009 FLUTE - File Delivery over Unidirectional Transport Oct 2005 Jun 2009 NACK-Oriented Reliable Multicast Transport Protocol Oct 2008 Mar 2009 Simple Authentication Schemes for the ALC and NORM Protocols Request For Comments: RFC Stat Published Title ------- -- ----------- ------------------------------------ RFC2887 I Aug 2000 The Reliable Multicast Design Space for Bulk Data Transfer RFC3048 I Feb 2001 Reliable Multicast Transport Building Blocks for One-to-Many Bulk-Data Transfer RFC3269 I May 2002 Author Guidelines for RMT Building Blocks and Protocol Instantiation documents RFC3450 E Dec 2002 Asynchronous Layered Coding protocol instantiation RFC3451 E Dec 2002 Layered Coding Transport (LCT) Building Block RFC3452 E Dec 2002 Forward Error Correction Building Block RFC3453 I Dec 2002 The use of Forward Error Correction in Reliable Multicast RFC3695 E Feb 2004 Compact Forward Error Correction (FEC) Schemes RFC3738 E Apr 2004 Wave and Equation Based Rate Control building block RFC3926 E Oct 2004 FLUTE - File Delivery over Unidirectional Transport RFC3940 E Nov 2004 NACK-Oriented Reliable Multicast Protocol (NORM) RFC3941 E Nov 2004 NACK-Oriented Reliable Multicast (NORM) Building Blocks RFC4654 E Aug 2006 TCP-Friendly Multicast Congestion Control (TFMCC): Protocol Specification RFC5052 PS Aug 2007 Forward Error Correction (FEC) Building Block RFC5053 PS Oct 2007 Raptor Forward Error Correction Scheme for Object Delivery RFC5170 PS Jun 2008 Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) Staircase and Triangle Forward Error Correction (FEC) Schemes RFC5401 PS Nov 2008 Multicast Negative-Acknowledgment (NACK) Building Blocks RFC5445 PS Mar 2009 Basic Forward Error Correction (FEC) Schemes RFC5510 PS Apr 2009 Reed-Solomon Forward Error Correction (FEC) Schemes
