ANSI/SCTE 42 2008

The document describes two methods to transmit multicast IP datagrams over MPEG 2 digital transport streams. It describes the use of Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) Multi-Protocol Encapsulation (MPE) Datagram Sections and the Advanced Television Systems

Committees (ATSC) Addressable Sections, to encapsulate IP datagrams for subsequent segmentation into fixed length MPEG transport packets. It also describes how the encapsulated data will be included within an MPEG Program in a manner that allows a digital MPEG Decoder to efficiently locate the data PID streams carrying multicast IP content.
