| New Draft Proposal sent to IETF October 9, 1996, sponsored by Progressive Networks and Netscape |
| Proposal for new protocol to control and deliver real-time content streams |
| The delivery is based on RTP (IETF RFC 1889): Real-time Transport Protocol, for lower level delivery of multimedia data. |
| RTSP would take advantage of UDP (User Datagram Protocol - provides multiplexing of packets to help support real-time transfer), SCP (Session Control Protocol) with TCP/IP, or IP Multicast. |
