RTP benefits

[luigio18]

Hello there

Does anybody know why we should use RTP protocol for streaming?
What benefits this protocol gives in comparison to simple use of UDP or TCP?

Thanks

I mean how these benefits are / can be utilized in Symbian.

Loss detection, reception quality info, error concealment, synchronization, congestion control.. just to name a few..

You might want to read some book/rfc on this

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.
Can I ask one more question?
Is it possible to send G.711 payload over UDP without encapsulating into RTP packets or RTP is a vital part for data like this and this protocol must be utilized?
Don't be angry with my questions. I'm just studying yet

Thanks

How are you going to know packet loss and sequence of audio payloads without structure of RTP?

Actually I thought that for a streaming data it's not so important to loose a couple of packets. Am I wrong? I also thought that it's possible to play incoming stream without changing the order of packets If the order of packets is not the same as it was while sending do I have to sort these packets back by myself or this part is somehow managed by RTP framework?

Thanks
