Technical Summary

   The Secure Real-Time Media Flow Protocol is an endpoint-to-endpoint 
   communication protocol designed to securely transport parallel flows 
   of real-time video, audio, and data messages, as well as bulk data, 
   over IP networks. RTMFP has features making it effective for 
   peer-to-peer (P2P) as well as client- server communications, even 
   when Network Address Translators (NATs) are used. Encryption, 
   Congestion Control, selective acknowledgements, separation of bulk 
   and real time flows, NAT traversal, reliable, partial reliable and 
   unreliable transport modes, as well as in-order and received-order 
   delivery are all core components of this protocol.

Working Group Summary

   The protocol was presented in TSVWG a few times, and the document
   reviewed by a number of individuals. As a private protocol, no 
   technical changes were performed on the protocol itself, but the 
   authors disclosed more details in response to the WG discussions 
   (e.g. specifics around the congestion control mechanism). 

Document Quality

There is one existing implementation, widely deployed as part of a
multiple software packages from one vendor. The document was written
with the goal to spur more deployments and implementations.
