Part 3: Link protection
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in
addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses
arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 62481-3 has been prepared technical area 9: Audio, video and
multimedia applications for end-user network, by IEC technical committee 100: Audio, video and
multimedia systems and equipment.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2010. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) includes variable play (trick mode) support;
b) includes updates to resolve interoperability issues.

INTRODUCTION
Consumers are acquiring, viewing, and managing an increasing amount of digital media (photos,
music, and video) on devices in the Consumer Electronics (CE), mobile, and Personal Computer
(PC) domains. As such, they want to conveniently enjoy the content, regardless of the source,
across different devices and locations in the home. The digital home vision integrates the
Internet, mobile, and broadcast networks through a seamless, interoperable network, which will
provide a unique opportunity for manufacturers and consumers alike. In order to achieve this
interoperability, a common set of industry design guidelines is needed that allows vendors to
participate in a growing marketplace, leading to more innovation, simplicity, and value for
consumers. This standard serves that purpose and provides vendors with the information
needed to build interoperable networked platforms and devices for the digital home.
This standard is organized to align with the overall structure of IEC 62481-1 and IEC 62481-2.

NETWORKED DEVICE INTEROPERABILITY GUIDELINES –

Part 3: Link protection
1 Scope
This part of IEC 62481 specifies the DLNA link protection guidelines, which are an extension of
the DLNA guidelines. DLNA link protection is defined as the protection of a content stream
between two devices on a DLNA network from illegitimate observation or interception using the
protocols defined within this part of IEC 62481.
Content protection is an important mechanism for ensuring that commercial content is protected
from piracy and illegitimate redistribution. Link Protection is a technique that enables distribution
of protected commercial content on a home network, thus resulting in greater consumer
flexibility while still preserving the rights of copyright holders and content providers.
The guidelines in this part of IEC 62481 reference existing technologies for Link Protection and
provide mechanisms for interoperability between different implementations as well as
integration with the DLNA architecture.

3.3 Conventions
In IEC 62481-1 and this International Standard, a number of terms, conditions, mechanisms,
sequences, parameters, events, states, or similar terms are printed with the first letter of each
word in uppercase and the rest lowercase (e.g., Move). Any lowercase uses of these words have
the normal technical English meaning.
4 DLNA home network architecture
See IEC 62481-1:2013, Clause 4, for detailed descriptions of the DLNA home network
architecture.
5 DLNA device model
See IEC 62481-1:2013, Clause 5, for detailed descriptions of the DLNA device model. This
standard extends the existing DLNA devices and system usages to include link protected
content used for the following:
• 2-Box Pull System Usage;
62481-3 © IEC:2013(E) – 15 –
• 2-Box Push System Usage;
• 3-Box System Usage,
for transfer and rendering of content items. These are the only system usages that are currently
in scope for the use of DLNA Link Protection.
6 Guideline terminology and conventions
See IEC 62481-1:2013, Clause 6, for a full description of the DLNA document conventions.
7 Common link protection guidelines
7.1 General
See 7.1.1 in IEC 62481-1:2013, for guideline and attribute table layout descriptions.
7.2 Conditions for measuring time in message exchanges
These guidelines define in certain cases time constraints for the exchange of messages
between two communicating endpoints. These time constraints have been defined as a means
to provide some operational consistency between the two communicating endpoints. However,
in best-effort networks, actual time measurements for exchanging messages show wide
variations depending on perturbations derived from network conditions, traffic, available
bandwidth, and others. Therefore, the following recommendations should be applied when
making time measurements.
• The two communicating endpoints should establish communications under Ideal Network
Conditions.
• Time measurements at a given layer assume that the underlying layers preserve the
communication channel. For example, time measurements at the HTTP layer cannot be valid
if the underlying TCP/IP channel breaks during the measurements.
• Unless specified otherwise, time measurements assume that the communicating devices are
both in active mode. This means that time measurements should not include transitions from
sleep mode to active mode.
7.3 Networking and connectivity
7.3.1 General
This subclause provides guidelines for general and device specific networking capabilities that
are independent of the Link Protection System used. For DTCP-IP specific requirements, see
8.2. For WMDRM-ND specific requirements, see 9.3.
The following guidelines are given in addition to IEC 62481-1 QoS and include the normative
DLNA QoS levels for Link Protection messages.
7.3.2 New general capability guidelines: Bluetooth
NC CP: power saving modes
[GUIDELINE] If the NC-PS bearer level power saving scheme is supported and the network link
is in Standby mode, then the MHD device should request the transition from Standby to Active
NC-PS mode before any required Link Protection communication.
