Subject: Re: [Rmt] Should RS FEC I-D be a working group item?

Hello Mike,

Sorry, I forgot to add the explanations that I gave during the session, 
Monday.

1- Yes the final I-D aims to be 100% compatible with Luigi's codec, 
version 2, July 1998,
and this one is MDS. We've been confused by version 1...

2- Yes, the proposal defines a fully specified FEC Enc ID.

3- Our plan is to only consider the fully MDS scheme, forgotting 
completely the other one.

Cheers,

  Vincent
