Title : Multimedia Congestion Control: Circuit Breakers for Unicast RTP Sessions

Abstract:
The Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) is widely used in telephony,
video conferencing, and telepresence applications. Such applications
are often run on best-effort UDP/IP networks. If congestion control
is not implemented in the applications, then network congestion will
deteriorate the user's multimedia experience. This document does not
propose a congestion control algorithm; instead, it defines a minimal
set of RTP "circuit-breakers". Circuit-breakers are conditions under
which an RTP sender needs to stop transmitting media data in order to
protect the network from excessive congestion. It is expected that,
in the absence of severe congestion, all RTP applications running on
best-effort IP networks will be able to run without triggering these
circuit breakers. Any future RTP congestion control specification
will be expected to operate within the constraints defined by these
circuit breakers.
