RFC 8860 · PROPOSED STANDARD · 2021

Sending Multiple Types of Media in a Single RTP Session

Overview

RFC 8860, “Sending Multiple Types of Media in a Single RTP Session”, is a Proposed Standard document published in January 2021 by M. Westerlund, C. Perkins, J. Lennox. It updates RFC 3550, RFC 3551. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document specifies how an RTP session can contain RTP streams with media from multiple media types such as audio, video, and text. This has been restricted by the RTP specifications (RFCs 3550 and 3551), and thus this document updates RFCs 3550 and 3551 to enable this behaviour for applications that satisfy the applicability for using multiple media types in a single RTP session.

Abstract as published in the RFC, via rfc-editor.org.

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.
