Technical Summary
The Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) is a widely used
transport for real-time multimedia on IP networks. The
Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) is a newly
defined transport protocol that provides desirable services
for real-time applications. This memo specifies a mapping of
RTP onto DCCP, along with associated signalling, such that
real-time applications can make use of the services provided
by DCCP.
Working Group Summary
The consensus within the DCCP WG to publish this document as
a draft standard RFC is strong.
Protocol Quality
The document is clear and the mechanisms involved are fairly
straight-forward and simple. There is believed to be at
least one implementation in progress.
