Summary

The AL PDU format specified in the systems CD does not support AL packetized streams required to support URLs in the elementary stream descriptors (clause 7.3.3.2.1 in the systems CD). Further more there is a need for a format to store and exchange AL packetized streams. Since AL PDUs do not include payload size, the AL PDUs cannot be simply concatenated to create a stream of PDUs. The stream format proposed in this contribution satisfies the requirements for an AL PDU stream.
