Real-Time Streaming Protocol Version 2.0
RFC 7826, “Real-Time Streaming Protocol Version 2.0”, is a Proposed Standard document published in December 2016 by H. Schulzrinne, A. Rao, R. Lanphier, M. Westerlund, M. Stiemerling. It obsoletes RFC 2326. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This memorandum defines the Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) version 2.0, which obsoletes RTSP version 1.0 defined in RFC 2326.
RTSP is an application-layer protocol for the setup and control of the delivery of data with real-time properties. RTSP provides an extensible framework to enable controlled, on-demand delivery of real-time data, such as audio and video. Sources of data can include both live data feeds and stored clips. This protocol is intended to control multiple data delivery sessions; provide a means for choosing delivery channels such as UDP, multicast UDP, and TCP; and provide a means for choosing delivery mechanisms based upon RTP (RFC 3550).
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.
