A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 5506 Title: Support for Reduced-Size Real-Time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP): Opportunities and Consequences Author: I. Johansson, M. Westerlund Status: Standards Track Date: April 2009 Mailbox: ingemar.s.johansson@ericsson.com, magnus.westerlund@ericsson.com Pages: 17 Characters: 41011 Updates: RFC3550, RFC3711, RFC4585 I-D Tag: draft-ietf-avt-rtcp-non-compound-09.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5506.txt This memo discusses benefits and issues that arise when allowing Real-time Transport Protocol (RTCP) packets to be transmitted with reduced size. The size can be reduced if the rules on how to create compound packets outlined in RFC 3550 are removed or changed. Based on that analysis, this memo defines certain changes to the rules to allow feedback messages to be sent as Reduced-Size RTCP packets under certain conditions when using the RTP/AVPF (Real-time Transport Protocol / Audio-Visual Profile with Feedback) profile (RFC 4585). This document updates RFC 3550, RFC 3711, and RFC 4585. [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. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
