Abstract
The Real Time Streaming Protocol, or RTSP, is an application-level protocol for control over the delivery of data with real-time properties. RTSP provides an extensible framework to enable controlled, on-demand delivery of real-time data, such as audio and video. Sources of data can include both live data feeds and stored clips. This protocol is intended to control multiple data delivery sessions, provide a means for choosing delivery channels such as UDP, multicast UDP and TCP, and provide a means for choosing delivery mechanisms based upon RTP (RFC 1889).

A Rate Control Protocol for High Speed Streaming Video
ICIS '08: Proceedings of the Seventh IEEE/ACIS International Conference on Computer and Information Science (icis 2008)In this paper, we propose a rate control for high speed streaming video, which is based on scalable TCP and TEAR. Scalable TCP offers an effective and robust mechanism for bulk data transmitting in high bandwidth-delay network. However it has a big rate ...
