An extensible framework for RTP-based multimedia applications

Abstract

An extensible framework for RTP-based multimedia applications is described. The authors first describe the design process that led to a streaming architecture and illustrate why this is a useful model when developing network-oriented multimedia applications. They then consider the extensibility and flexibility of the framework developed. Finally, they describe design considerations and usage models for several key components in the above framework. The document describes joint work by Intel and Microsoft in the area of networked multimedia streaming.
