When a client requests a time-shift service for a multicast session
using RTP for media transport, like pause, instant replay, slow-
motion video, frame-by-frame viewing, rewind, fast-forward, etc., it
needs to switch from multicast session to unicast session. This
unicast session will always serve for the time-shift service unless
the client manually switches back to the multicast session. Actually
a time- shift request may happens for all clients. That is,
multicast session stream will be replaced by many unicast time-shift
streams having significant impact on network bandwidth usage.
In this document, we describe a method using existing RTP and RTCP
protocol infrastructure that switches back to multicast session from
unicast session of time-shift. In this method, a burst RTP flow
which is a little faster than the primary multicast rate may be
transmitted so that unicast session may catch up and switch back to
multicast session.
