This document describes novel protocols to bind IPv4/IPv6 addresses and
flows to MPEG-2 Transport Streams (TS). For MPEG-2 systems to become true
subnetworks of the general Internet, methods are required to signal IPv4/v6
addresses to the link receivers and transmitters; this is known as Address
Resolution (AR), or Neighbour Discovery (ND). In MPEG-2 networks, an IP
address must be associated with a Packet ID (PID) and specific transmission
multiplex. In this documents 2 mechanisms based on standard XML semantics
and multimedia signalling are introduced to comply to established IP over
DVB AR established. These protocols are seen to complement the current
approaches based on SI table with a more IP centric approach.
