MPE stands for:

• the Multi Protocol Encapsulation Method.
• Multi-Programming Executive, an early 1980s minicomputer operating system made by Hewlett-Packard.

DVB has introduced multiprotocol encapsulation (MPE) for encoding OSI-model layer 3 (Network Layer) datagrams into Transport Stream packets. MPE is defined in ETSI EN 301 192 [5]. Each IP datagram is encoded into a single MPE section. The IP datagram starts immediately after the MAC_address_1 field. The maximum size of an IP datagram (including the IP datagram header) is 4080 bytes. Single Elementary Stream may contain multiple MPE section streams. Within an Elementary Stream, MPE section stream is identified by its MAC_address field. Note that IPDC DVB-H Receiver may differentiate MPE encoded IP streams by checking the IP source and/or destination address in the IP datagram carried within an MPE section. In such case the Receiver does not differentiate MPE section streams, but is directly filtering IP streams. For such a Receiver, there is no need to differentiate MPE section streams within an Elementary Stream. DVB BlueBook A079 Rev. 1 11 For each Elementary Stream carrying MPE encapsulated IP stream(s), the SDT_actual contains a data_broadcast_descriptor. The following applies to this descriptor: • The data_broadcast_id field is set to 0x0005, indicating the Multiprotocol Encapsulation Info Structure is used. • The selector_length field is set to 2. • The max_sections_per_datagram field is set to 1, indicating the maximum number of sections that can be used to carry a single datagram unit. • The component_tag field is set to the value announced within the PMT sub_table of the DVB service for the referred component. headerpayload188 BytesheaderpayloadheaderpayloadheaderpayloadheaderpayloadheaderpayloadOne TS packet payload may containone or more MPE sections, and oneMPE section may be fragmentedinto one or more TS packet payloadsTSpacketsMPEsectionsIPdatagramheaderpayloadOne MPE section payload -when notempty - contains exactly one IPdatagram, and one IP datagram isalways carried within exactly oneMPE section payload16 ... 4095 Bytes40 ... 4080 Bytes Figure 4 : Relation between Transport packet stream, MPE section stream and IP stream.
