The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018):
Real-Time Transport Protocol
RTP
(RTP) An Internet protocol for transmitting
real-time data such as audio and video. RTP itself does
not guarantee real-time delivery of data, but it does provide
mechanisms for the sending and receiving applications to
support streaming data. Typically, RTP runs on top of the
UDP protocol, although the specification is general enough
to support other transport protocols.
RTP has received wide industry support. Netscape intends to
base its LiveMedia technology on RTP, and Microsoft claims
that its NetMeeting product supports RTP.
