RTP Payload Format for Transport of MPEG-4 Elementary Streams
RFC 3640, “RTP Payload Format for Transport of MPEG-4 Elementary Streams”, is a Proposed Standard document published in December 2003 by J. van der Meer, D. Mackie, V. Swaminathan, D. Singer, P. Gentric. It has since been updated by RFC 5691. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Motion Picture Experts Group (MPEG) Committee (ISO/IEC JTC1/SC29 WG11) is a working group in ISO that produced the MPEG-4 standard. MPEG defines tools to compress content such as audio-visual information into elementary streams. This specification defines a simple, but generic RTP payload format for transport of any non-multiplexed MPEG-4 elementary stream.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
