John:
Yes, one would think that MPEG over IP made sense. However, IP doesn't
run everywhere and the MPEG-2 people made it possible to run IP over
MPEG-2 transport.
Michael
This email describes a discussion list which will develop a framework
for efficient transport of IPv4 and IPv6 Datagrams over ISO MPEG-2
Transport Streams (TS).
Wouldn't it make more sense to transmit MPEG over IP? Then you get the
benefit of running everywhere IP does, instead of having to come up with
your own standards for the data layer.
