Title: A File Aggregation Scheme for FLUTE
State: Active
Authors: Christoph Neumann

This document introduces a logical and physical file aggregation scheme for
File Delivery over Unidirectional Transport (FLUTE). The logical file
aggregation mechanism is a generalized grouping mechanism, allowing to
logically group files. The physical file aggregation scheme allows,
additionally to a logical grouping, to more efficiently use Forward Error
Correction (FEC) in the context of FLUTE, in particular when dealing with a
large number of "small" files. Unlike a solution based on the creation of
an archive, the object aggregation scheme (1) avoids the need to perform
preliminary transformations on the content and (2) preserves the
possibility to extract a subset of the content, which may be critical
aspect with some partially reliable broadcasting test cases.
