7. RTP over TCP and Similar Byte Stream Protocols

  1. RTP over TCP and Similar Byte Stream Protocols

Under special circumstances, it may be necessary to carry RTP in protocols offering a byte stream abstraction, such as TCP, possibly multiplexed with other data. The application MUST define its own method of delineating RTP and RTCP packets (RTSP [23] provides an example of such an encapsulation specification).
