Picolo.net Getting Started □ The RTP protocol itself. The Real-time Transport Control Protocol - RTCP. □ The RTP protocol is a simple protocol which defines a standardized packet format for delivering audio and video over IP networks. The RTCP protocol provides statistics and control information over the RTP stream. RTP is used extensively in communication and entertainment systems that involve streaming media.
Picolo.net Getting Started RTP over UDP MultiCast This modality is almost identical to the "RTP over UDP Unicast" case. The only difference is that the data is sent to multiple receivers instead of a single one using UDP multicasting. UDP multicasting uses the "IP multicast" technique described in RFC 1112. In this technique, the sender sends the data to a special multicast address.
