Major issues:

Minor issues:

Nits/editorial comments:
-Section 1.1.1 Title "One-Dimensionsal "--->"One-Dimensional"

-[Page 14] 3.2.  , "signficant"--->"significant"

-[Page 16], 4.2.1.  , "pakcets"--->"packets"

-[Page 35], 6.3.1.  , "reciever"--->"receiver"

-[Page 35], 6.3.1.1.  , "signficant"--->"significant"

-[Page 43], 7., "several Sesssion "--->"several Session "

-Section 8, "an application should avoid
   sending/receiving FEC repair streams if it knows that sending/
   receiving those FEC repair streams would not help at all in
   recovering the missing packets. It is RECOMMENDED that the amount
   and type (row, column, or both) of FEC protection is adjusted
   dynamically based on the packet loss rate and burst loss length
   observed by the applications."

How would the application know that sending/receiving those FEC repair streams would not help at all? any rule of thumb to add here?
