This payload format requires + four new MIME types, audio/parityfec, video/parityfec, + text/paritfyfec and application/parityfec. RFC 2048 [2] defines + procedures for registration of new MIME types within the IETF tree. + Furthermore, the Audio/Video Transport working group has defined + additional procedures that must be followed when registering RTP + payload formats [3]. This document serves as the MIME type + registration for those formats based on those procedures. + + + + + + + + + +Rosenberg & Schulzrinne Standards Track [Page 1] + +RFC 3009 FEC MIME November 2000 + + +2 Registration of audio/parityfec + + To: ietf-types@iana.org + + Subject: Registration of MIME media type audio/parityfec + + MIME media type name: audio + + MIME subtype name: parityfec + + Required parameters: none + + Note that [3] mandates that RTP payload formats without a + defined rate must define a rate parameter as part of their + MIME registration.
