As a pre-requisite to any debate, I thought it may be useful to test
whether we are in agreement on some background assumptions. 

My suggestions for the basic assumptions are:

---
The encapsulation

Supports IPv4 unicast and multicast
Supports IPv6 unicast and multicast
Does NOT consider MPLS, Ethernet bridging, and other protocols
Does include support for TCP/IP header compression schemes (e.g. ROHC)
---
Encapsulation

Direct transmission in the MPEG-2 Transport stream
This should NOT be based on DSM-CC, or a PES format
This should support section-packing (multiple datagrams in the same
MPEG-TS packet)
---

Are these all sensible starting assumptions?

Would this approach raise serious issues with conditional access?

How does this relate to data piping (specified in DVB EN 301 192)?
