Re: RTP

[Henning Schulzrinne <schulzrinne at cs.columbia.edu>]

The IETF-relevant version of RTP has a web page at
http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~hgs/rtp

Despite what Cisco says, it is not "one of the IPv6 protocols", but
works with either IPv4, IPv6 or even APPN...

----

Which one?  (Definitions taken from Cisco's website)
 
RTP

      1. Routing Table Protocol. VINES routing protocol based on RIP.
Distributes network topology
      information and aids VINES servers in finding neighboring clients,
servers, and routers. Uses
      delay as a routing metric.

      2. Rapid Transport Protocol. Provides pacing and error recovery
for APPN data as it crosses the
      APPN network. With RTP, error recovery and flow control are done
end-to-end rather than at
      every node. RTP prevents congestion rather than reacts to it.

      3. Real-Time Transport Protocol. One of the IPv6 protocols. RTP is
designed to provide
      end-to-end network transport functions for applications
transmitting real-time data, such as
      audio, video, or simulation data, over multicast or unicast
network services. RTP provides
      services such as payload type identification, sequence numbering,
timestamping, and delivery
      monitoring to real-time applications.
