Hi all,

This new version contains fixes for problems identified during the hackathon.
Yet they have not all been implemented as some of the small issues
need more thoughts. See:
https://github.com/irtf-nwcrg/rg-materials/blob/master/ietf104-2019-03/ietf104_swif_hackathon.md

Cheers,

  Vincent, on behalf of the hackathon team

> Abstract:
>   This document introduces a generic Application Programming Interface
>   (API) for sliding window FEC codes.  This API is meant to be
>   compatible with any sliding window FEC code.  It defines the core
>   procedures and functions meant to control the codec (i.e.,
>   implementation of the FEC code).  However, it leaves out all upper
>   layer aspects that are the responsibility of the application or
>   protocol making use of the codec.  As a consequence, this is not an
>   API for a FEC Scheme since certain mechanisms that must be defined by
>   any FEC Scheme (e.g., signalling and FEC Payload IDs) are the
>   responsibility of the caller instead of being addressed by the codec.
>   A first goal of this document is to pave the way for a future open-
>   source implementation of such codes, another goal is to simplify the
>   development of content delivery protocols that rely on sliding window
>   FEC codes for robust transmissions.
