An Implementation Guide for RTP MIDI
RFC 4696, “An Implementation Guide for RTP MIDI”, is an Informational document published in November 2006 by J. Lazzaro, J. Wawrzynek. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This memo offers non-normative implementation guidance for the Real-time Protocol (RTP) MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) payload format. The memo presents its advice in the context of a network musical performance application. In this application two musicians, located in different physical locations, interact over a network to perform as they would if located in the same room. Underlying the performances are RTP MIDI sessions over unicast UDP. Algorithms for sending and receiving recovery journals (the resiliency structure for the payload format) are described in detail. Although the memo focuses on network musical performance, the presented implementation advice is relevant to other RTP MIDI applications. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
