Perkins, C.S. and Crowcroft, J. (2000) Notes on the use of RTP for shared workspace applications. ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review, 30(2), pp. 35-40. (doi: 10.1145/505680.505685)

Abstract

The Real-time Transport Protocol, RTP, has become the dominant protocol for streaming audio and video in IP-based environments. A number of proposals have been made which attempt to build on this success and apply RTP for shared workspace applications. We discuss the needs of such applications and the features provided by RTP, with an aim to showing why RTP is not appropriate for such uses.
