TV Back Channel

Hi,

I would like to know if there are any specifications for transmitting
MPEG-2 stream over TCP/IP ??
This would be required, for making a TV interface with the Internet. For
exmaple, if the user wants
to download a program stored in some "Content Server" based on DSM-CC,
then this MPEG-2 stream
has to be transported as payload in  TCP/IP packet. How this is achieved
?? Similarly if the user clicks
on a URL that is broadcasted on TV during an advertisement or as part of
some program, then in order
to access the WEB, there need to be mechanism to access the web. Are
there any proposals for achieving
these functionalities ???  What are the basic protocols apart from
TCP/IP that would be required for doing
this ????

If any of you know answers to my questions please let me know.

Best regards,
venkatesh
