A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-avt-rtcp-guidelines-04.txt Technical Summary The RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) is used along with the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) to provide a control channel between media senders and receivers. This allows constructing a feedback loop to enable application adaptation and monitoring, among other uses.

This document provides guidelines on extending RTCP if those basic mechanisms prove insufficient. Working Group Summary There is nothing specific to note.
