Wenger, N. Sato, C. Burmeister, J. Rey Status: Standards Track Date: July 2006 Mailbox: jo@acm.org, stewe@stewe.org, sato652@oki.com, carsten.burmeister@eu.panasonic.com, jose.rey@eu.panasonic.com Pages: 51 Characters: 117762 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-avt-rtcp-feedback-11.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4585.txt Real-time media streams that use RTP are, to some degree, resilient against packet losses. Receivers may use the base mechanisms of the Real-time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP) to report packet reception statistics and thus allow a sender to adapt its transmission behavior in the mid-term. This is the sole means for feedback and feedback-based error repair (besides a few codec-specific mechanisms). This document defines an extension to the Audio-visual Profile (AVP) that enables receivers to provide, statistically, more immediate feedback to the senders and thus allows for short-term adaptation and efficient feedback-based repair mechanisms to be implemented. This early feedback profile (AVPF) maintains the AVP bandwidth constraints for RTCP and preserves scalability to large groups. [STANDARDS TRACK] This document is a product of the Audio/Video Transport Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol. 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 Internet Official Protocol Standards (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol.
