Using Simulcast in SDP and RTP Sessions
draft-ietf-mmusic-sdp-simulcast-14
Abstract
In some application scenarios it may be desirable to send multiple
differently encoded versions of the same media source in different
RTP streams. This is called simulcast. This document describes how
to accomplish simulcast in RTP and how to signal it in SDP. The
described solution uses an RTP/RTCP identification method to identify
RTP streams belonging to the same media source, and makes an
extension to SDP to relate those RTP streams as being different
simulcast formats of that media source. The SDP extension consists
of a new media level SDP attribute that expresses capability to send
and/or receive simulcast RTP streams.
