Port Mapping between Unicast and Multicast RTP Sessions
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]
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.
