Sending Multiple RTP Streams in a Single RTP Session
Abstract
This memo expands and clarifies the behavior of Real-time Transport
Protocol (RTP) endpoints that use multiple synchronization sources
(SSRCs). This occurs, for example, when an endpoint sends multiple
RTP streams in a single RTP session. This memo updates RFC 3550 with
regard to handling multiple SSRCs per endpoint in RTP sessions, with
a particular focus on RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) behavior. It also
updates RFC 4585 to change and clarify the calculation of the timeout
of SSRCs and the inclusion of feedback messages.
