Peer-to-Peer Streaming Tracker Protocol
RFC 7846, “Peer-to-Peer Streaming Tracker Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in May 2016 by R. Cruz, M. Nunes, J. Xia, R. Huang, J. Taveira, D. Lingli. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies the base Peer-to-Peer Streaming Tracker Protocol (PPSTP) version 1, an application-layer control (signaling) protocol for the exchange of meta information between trackers and peers. The specification outlines the architecture of the protocol and its functionality; it also describes message flows, message processing instructions, message formats, formal syntax, and semantics. The PPSTP enables cooperating peers to form content-streaming overlay networks to support near real-time delivery of structured media content (audio, video, and associated timed text and metadata), such as adaptive multi-rate, layered (scalable), and multi-view (3D) videos in live, time-shifted, and on-demand modes.
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.
