What is RTP?
RTP is the Real-time Transport Protocol. Here is an excerpt from the RTP specification: “RTP provides end-to-end network transport functions suitable for applications transmitting real-time data, such as audio, video or simulated data, over multicast or unicast network services. RTP does not address resource reservation and does not guarantee quality-of-service for real-time services. The data transport is augmented by a control protocol (RTCP) to allow monitoring of the data delivery in a manner scalable to large multicast networks, and to provide minimal control and identification functionality. RTP and RTCP are designed to be independent of the underlying transport and network layers”. For furthur information please refer to RFC 1889: RTP: A Transport Protocol for Real-Time Applications.
