Synopsis

The Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) provides a framework fordelivery of audio and video across IP networks with unprecedentedquality and reliability. In RTP: Audio and Video for the Internet,Colin Perkins, a leader of the RTP standardization process in theIETF, offers readers detailed technical guidance for designing,implementing, and managing any RTP-based system. By bringingtogether crucial information that was previously scattered ordifficult to find, Perkins has created an incredible resource thatenables professionals to leverage RTP's benefits in a wide range ofVoice-over IP (VoIP) and streaming media applications. Hedemonstrates how RTP supports audio/video transmission in IPnetworks, and shares strategies for maximizing performance,robustness, security, and privacy. Comprehensive, exceptionallyclear, and replete with examples, this book is the definitive RTPreference for every audio/video application designer, developer,researcher, and administrator. Key coverage includes: *RTP's goals,design philosophy, and relationships with other protocols *Thepsychology of human perception in the design of media deliverysystems *RTP data transfer and control protocols, includingframing, loss detection, reception quality feedback, and membershipcontrol *Media playout, timing, and synchronization, including lipsynchronization *Mitigating network problems: error concealment,error correction, and congestion control *Optimizing performanceover low-speed links: header compression, multiplexing, andtunneling *Integrating leading media codecs and standards into RTPsystems *Securing RTP sessions: encryption, authentication, and thenew secure RTP profile for wireless networks *Extensive referencesand practical examples throughout 0672322498B05092003

About this title

About the Author

Colin Perkins is a research assistant professor at the University of Southern California Information Sciences Institute, where his research interests include scaling Internet multimedia conferencing to support very large distributed meetings and to very high quality. From 1996 to 2000, he was a research fellow with the Department of Computer Science, University College, London, where he conducted research into advanced VoIP and IP-based videoconferencing technologies, and developed one of the earliest RTP teleconferencing implementations. He is co-chair of the Audio/Video Transport and Multiparty Multimedia Session Control working groups of the IETF, and has authored several RFC standards relating to RTP. He holds a Ph.D. in electronic engineering from the University of York.

From the Back Cover

The Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) provides a framework for delivery of audio and video across IP networks with unprecedented quality and reliability. In RTP: Audio and Video for the Internet, Colin Perkins, a leader of the RTP standardization process in the IETF, offers readers detailed technical guidance for designing, implementing, and managing any RTP-based system.

By bringing together crucial information that was previously scattered or difficult to find, Perkins has created an incredible resource that enables professionals to leverage RTP's benefits in a wide range of Voice-over IP (VoIP) and streaming media applications. He demonstrates how RTP supports audio/video transmission in IP networks, and shares strategies for maximizing performance, robustness, security, and privacy.

Comprehensive, exceptionally clear, and replete with examples, this book is the definitive RTP reference for every audio/video application designer, developer, researcher, and administrator.

Key coverage includes:

RTP's goals, design philosophy, and relationships with other protocols

The psychology of human perception in the design of media delivery systems

RTP data transfer and control protocols, including framing, loss detection, reception quality feedback, and membership control

Media playout, timing, and synchronization, including lip synchronization

Mitigating network problems: error concealment, error correction, and congestion control

Optimizing performance over low-speed links: header compression, multiplexing, and tunneling

Integrating leading media codecs and standards into RTP systems

Securing RTP sessions: encryption, authentication, and the new secure RTP profile for wireless networks

Extensive references and practical examples throughout
