The ports which form a session are negotiated using other protocols such as RTSP ( using SDP in the setup method ) and SIP.

The streaming client may interact with the streaming server using a control protocol, such as MMS or RTSP.

HTTP adaptive bitrate streaming is based on HTTP progressive download, but contrary to the previous approach, here the files are very small, so that they can be compared to the streaming of packets, much like the case of using RTSP and RTP.

RealVideo can be played from a RealMedia file or streamed over the network using the Real Time Streaming Protocol ( RTSP ), a standard protocol for streaming media developed by the IETF.

The codec was first designed to be utilized in H. 324 based systems ( PSTN and other circuit-switched network videoconferencing and videotelephony ), but has since also found use in H. 323 ( RTP / IP-based videoconferencing ), H. 320 ( ISDN-based videoconferencing ), RTSP ( streaming media ) and SIP ( Internet conferencing ) solutions.

Most RTSP servers use the Real-time Transport Protocol ( RTP ) in conjunction with Real-time Control Protocol ( RTCP ) for media stream delivery, however some vendors implement proprietary transport protocols.

Interleaved binary data SHOULD only be used if RTSP is carried over TCP. Stream data such as RTP packets is encapsulated by an ASCII dollar sign ( 24 hexadecimal ), followed by a one-byte channel identifier, followed by the length of the encapsulated binary data as a binary, two-byte integer in network byte order.

RTP is used in conjunction with other protocols such as H. 323 and RTSP.

* The Real-time Streaming Protocol ( RTSP ), Real-time Transport Protocol ( RTP ) and the Real-time Transport Control Protocol ( RTCP ) were specifically designed to stream media over networks.

SDP started off as a component of the Session Announcement Protocol ( SAP ), but found other uses in conjunction with Real-time Transport Protocol ( RTP ), Real-time Streaming Protocol ( RTSP ), Session Initiation Protocol ( SIP ) and even as a standalone format for describing multicast sessions.

* Protocols: RTSP, RTP, HTTP, Multicast, RDT

It supports streaming to any device or application that supports the HTTP, RTSP / RTP, TCP, UDP unicast and UDP multicast streaming protocols.

* Protocols: RTP, RTSP, HTTP, FTP, MMS, Netstream ( mpst ://), SMB, ffmpeg :// ( Uses FFmpeg's protocol implementations )

* Network protocols: HTTP, TCP, UDP, RTP, SMB, MMS, PNM, RTSP

; Input: UDP / RTP unicast or multicast, HTTP, FTP, MMS, RTSP, RTMP, DVDs, VCD, SVCD, CD Audio, DVB, Video acquisition ( via V4l and DirectShow ), RSS / Atom Feeds, and from files stored on the user's computer.

; Streaming protocols: UDP, HTTP, RTP, RTSP, MMS, file

** Network protocol clients: AirPlay / AirTunes, UPnP, SMB / SAMBA / CIFS, AFP, DAAP, Zeroconf / Avahi / Bonjour, NFS, HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, RTSP ( RTSPU, RTSPT ), MMS ( MMSU, MMST ), Podcasting, TCP, UDP, SFTP, RTP and RTMP ( including RTMP, RTMPT, RTMPE, RTMPTE, RTMPS ), DHCP, NTP

DSM-CC may work in conjunction with next generation packet networks, working alongside such internet protocols as RSVP, RTSP, RTP and SCP.

An alternative IETF's based transport protocol is RTP, fully implemented, like RTSP, in RealNetworks players.

The Real Time Streaming Protocol ( RTSP ) is a network control protocol designed for use in entertainment and communications systems to control streaming media servers.

The RTSP server from RealNetworks, for example, also features RealNetworks ' proprietary Real Data Transport ( RDT ).

The default port for the RTSP protocol is 554 for both UDP ( deprecated and very rarely used ) and TCP transports.

* ffserver is an HTTP and RTSP multimedia streaming server for live broadcasts.

Microsoft deprecated MMS in favor of RTSP ( TCP / UDP port 554 ) in 2003 with the release of the Windows Media Services 9 Series, but continued to support the MMS for some time in the interest of backwards compatibility.

MRCP relies on another protocol, such as Real Time Streaming Protocol ( RTSP ) or Session Initiation Protocol ( SIP ) for establishing a control session and audio streams between the client and the server.

Commonly used in companion with a control protocol for streaming media like the IETF's based RTSP protocol.

* Real Time Streaming Protocol ( RTSP ), a protocol for controlling streaming media servers

The transmission of streaming data itself is not a task of the RTSP protocol.

RTSP was developed by the Multiparty Multimedia Session Control Working Group ( MMUSIC WG ) of the Internet Engineering Task Force ( IETF ) and published as RFC 2326 in 1998.

While similar in some ways to HTTP, RTSP defines control sequences useful in controlling multimedia playback.

While HTTP is stateless, RTSP has state ; an identifier is used when needed to track concurrent sessions.

Like HTTP, RTSP uses TCP to maintain an end-to-end connection and, while most RTSP control messages are sent by the client to the server, some commands travel in the other direction ( i. e. from server to client ).

Presented here are the basic RTSP requests.

C -> S: OPTIONS rtsp :// example. com / media. mp4 RTSP / 1. 0

S -> C: RTSP / 1. 0 200 OK

: A DESCRIBE request includes an RTSP URL < nowiki >( rtsp ://...)</ nowiki >, and the type of reply data that can be handled.

C -> S: DESCRIBE rtsp :// example. com / media. mp4 RTSP / 1. 0

* The RTP profile for Audio and video conferences with minimal control ( RFC 3551 ) defines a set of static payload type assignments, and a mechanism for mapping between a payload format, and a payload type identifier ( in header ) using Session Description Protocol ( SDP ).

The bitstream is delivered from a streaming server to a streaming client using a transport protocol, such as MMS or RTP.

While deployed DOCSIS RFI 1. 0 equipment generally only supports best efforts service, the DOCSIS RFI 1. 0 Interim-01 document discussed QoS extensions and mechanisms using IntServ, RSVP, RTP, and Synchronous Transfer Mode ( STM ) telephony ( as opposed to ATM ).

The public broadcaster RTP started using the format in 5 / 12 / 1997.

* Additionally, H. 225. 0 defines media packetization using RTP for traditional codecs like G. 711, H. 261 and H. 263.

IP / TV was an MBONE compatible Windows and Unix-based application that transmitted single and multi-source audio and video traffic, ranging from low to DVD quality, using both unicast and IP multicast Real-time Transport Protocol ( RTP ) and Real time control protocol ( RTCP ).

This is typically accomplished using some variant of the RTP protocol.

Media is transferred using RTP / SRTP.
