Port Mapping between Unicast and Multicast RTP Sessions

Overview

RFC 6284, “Port Mapping between Unicast and Multicast RTP Sessions”, is a Proposed Standard document published in June 2011 by A. Begen, D. Wing, T. Van Caenegem. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document presents a port mapping solution that allows RTP receivers to choose their own ports for an auxiliary unicast session in RTP applications using both unicast and multicast services. The solution provides protection against denial-of-service or packet amplification attacks that could be used to cause one or more RTP packets to be sent to a victim client. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
