HP-UX Multimedia Streaming Protocols (MSP) Release Notes

RTP consists of Real-Time Control Protocol (RTCP), a closely linked protocol, that
provides a mechanism for reporting feedback on the transmitted real-time data.
• RTSP
Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) controls the transfer of real-time media data
and serves as a network-remote-control for multimedia services.
• SDP
Session Description Protocol (SDP) describes the general real-time multimedia
sessions.
See HP-UX Multimedia Streaming Protocols (MSP) Programmer’s Guide, available at
