RTCP offers quality of service feedback from receivers to the multicast group as well as support for the synchronization of different media streams RTP Real Time Transport Protocol RTP is an Internet protocol for the transport of real time data e g audio and video It can be used for media on demand as well as interactive services such as Internet telephony RTSP Real Time Streaming Protocol RTSP is a control 42 protocol and a starting point for negotiating transports such as RTP multicast and Unicast and for negotiating codecs RTSP can be considered a remote control for controlling the media stream delivered by a media server RTSP servers typically use RTP as the protocol for the actual transport of audio video data Router A device that determines the next network point to which a packet should be forwarded on its way to its final destination A router creates and or maintains a special routing table that stores information on how best to reach certain destinations A router is sometimes included as part of a network switch See also switch Server In general a server is a computer program that provides services to other computer programs in the same or other computers computer running a server program is also frequently referred to as a server In practice the server may contain any number of server and client programs A web server is the computer program that supplies the requested HTML pages or fi
