Real Time Streaming Protocol

multimedia, networking, protocol (RTSP) An applicationlayer protocol for controlling delivery of a stream of

real-time multimedia content. RTSP allows users to start

playing from a certain position. It does not actually deliver

the data, but works alongside existing delivery channels such

as UDP, TCP, or IP multicast.

RTSP was developed by RealNetworks, NetscapeCommunications, and Columbia University, and is described

in RFC 2326, April 1998. RTSP is an IETF proposed

standard.
