Real Time Streaming Protocol
|
|
RTSP is the Real Time Streaming Protocol developed by the IETF and published in 1998 as RFC 2326. RTSP is a protocol for use in streaming media systems which allows a client to remotely control a streaming media server, issuing VCR-like commands such as "play" and "pause", and allowing time-based access to files on a server.
Some RTSP servers use RTP as the transport protocol for the actual audio/video data. Many RTSP servers use RealNetworks's RDT as the protocol transport.
