'''Asynchronous Layered Coding''' is an [[Internet]] protocol of the [[IETF]] specified in [http://www.rfc-archive.org/getrfc.php?rfc=3450 RFC 3450] and described as a massively scalable reliable content delivery protocol. It was adopted as an experimental protocol in December 2002 and still is as of January 2006.
 
Asynchronous Layered Coding (ALC) is a massively scalable
reliable content delivery protocol, for multiple
rate congestion controlled reliable content delivery. The protocol
is specifically designed to provide massive scalability using IP
[[multicast]] as the underlying network service. Massive scalability in
this context means the number of concurrent receivers for an object
is potentially in the millions, the aggregate size of objects to be
