Multicast Mapping (IP to MAC) B.3 Section Packing Section packing is a technique utilized to provide more optimal utilization of the MPEG-2 transport stream (TS) packet structure. When section packing is not used, each TS packet (containing the MPE section) can carry no more than a single section. This often results in wasted payload capacity when the sections are less than 184 bytes.
