Abstract

This document specifies an efficient way to ensure erasure resilient, scalable transmission of encoded multimedia sources via RTP using standard-compatible Multiple Description Coding (MDC) and Layered Coding (LC) together with interleaving, thus allowing a graceful degradation of the application quality with increasing packet loss rate and decreasing bandwidth/throughput on the network. This document describes what information needs to be communicated out-of-band to use a specific MDC/LC scheme and what information is needed in RTP packets to identify what description/layer they carry. Definitions for SDP and MIME are provided.
