Why does RTP work with RTCP?

RTP carries the media streams, while RTCP is used to monitor transmission statistics and quality of service (see QoS). Monitoring allows the receiver to detect if there is any packet loss and to compensate for any delay jitter.

What is the relationship between RTP RTCP and RTSP?

RTCP is a part of RTP and helps with lip synchronization and QOS management, among others. RTSP is a control protocol that initiating and directing delivery of streaming multimedia from media servers, the “Internet VCR remote control protocol”.

What is RTCP protocol used for?

The RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) is a partner to the RTP protocol. RTCP is used to provide control and statistical information about an RTP media streaming session.

Is RTCP encrypted?

How does RTP and RTCP work?

RTP is the transport protocol for real-time data. It provides timestamp, sequence number, and other means to handle the timing issues in real-time data transport. RTSP is a control protocol that initiates and directs delivery of streaming multimedia data from media servers.

What applications use RTCP?

RTCP is used in voice over IP (VoIP) and Internet Protocol Television (IPTV), streaming media and video conferencing. RTCP carries statistical and control data, while RTP delivers the data.

Why do we need RTP?

The Real-time Transport Protocol is a network protocol used to deliver streaming audio and video media over the internet, thereby enabling the Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP). RTP is generally used with a signaling protocol, such as SIP, which sets up connections across the network.
