Westerlund Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: February 2016 Mailbox: bo.burman@ericsson.com, akram.muhammadazam@gmail.com, roni.even@mail01.huawei.com, magnus.westerlund@ericsson.com Pages: 55 Characters: 135619 Updates: RFC 5104 I-D Tag: draft-ietf-avtext-rtp-stream-pause-10.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc7728 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17487/RFC7728 With the increased popularity of real-time multimedia applications, it is desirable to provide good control of resource usage, and users also demand more control over communication sessions. This document describes how a receiver in a multimedia conversation can pause and resume incoming data from a sender by sending real-time feedback messages when using the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) for real- time data transport. This document extends the Codec Control Message (CCM) RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) feedback package by explicitly allowing and describing specific use of existing CCMs and adding a group of new real-time feedback messages used to pause and resume RTP data streams. This document updates RFC 5104. This document is a product of the Audio/Video Transport Extensions Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Official Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the standardization state and status of this protocol.
