Scope:

This Recommendation | International Standard specifies the Enhanced Communications Transport Protocol (ECTP), which is a transport protocol designed to support Internet multicast applications over multicast-capable IP networks.

This Recommendation | International Standard specifies the ECTP for the simplex multicast transport connection that consists of one sender and many receivers. 

This Recommendation | International Standard specifies the protocol procedures for the following protocol operations:

a) connection creation with tree creation;
b) multicast data transmission;
c) tree-based reliability control with error detection, re-transmission request and re-transmission;
d) late join and leave;
e) tree membership maintenance; and
f) connection termination.

Project need:

To review the Standard within the required 5 year period.
