On-line Multimedia Transport Protocol: separated channels are integrated using control channel

Abstract

From the viewpoint of computer communications, multimedia data is composed of several types of media that have temporal and spatial relations. These temporal relations mean that the media data in multimedia communications are time dependent with each other. We discuss our multimedia transport protocol (OMTP: On-line Multimedia Transport Protocol) which supports a simplex transfer of multimedia data with temporal and spatial relations between one to one connected computers.
