Multiplexing RTP Data and Control Packets on a Single Port
RFC 5761, “Multiplexing RTP Data and Control Packets on a Single Port”, is a Proposed Standard document published in April 2010 by C. Perkins, M. Westerlund. It updates RFC 3550, RFC 3551. It has since been updated by RFC 8035, RFC 8858. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This memo discusses issues that arise when multiplexing RTP data packets and RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) packets on a single UDP port. It updates RFC 3550 and RFC 3551 to describe when such multiplexing is and is not appropriate, and it explains how the Session Description Protocol (SDP) can be used to signal multiplexed sessions. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
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.
