Abstract

This document describes two Fully-Specified Forward Error Correction(FEC) Schemes, Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) Staircase and LDPCTriangle, and their application to the reliable delivery of dataobjects on the packet erasure channel (i.e., a communication pathwhere packets are either received without any corruption or discardedduring transmission). These systematic FEC codes belong to the well-known class of "Low Density Parity Check" codes, and are large blockFEC codes in the sense of RFC 3453. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
