ABSTRACT
In this chapter, we introduce the concept of real-time transport protocol and the carriage of multimedia contents over IP networks. The first section covers the various elements of the video streaming and transcoding system protocol. The second section describes how contents can be carried over IP networks. Details of the real-time transport protocol will be described. An implementation example of such a system is described in Section 11.3 and 11.4. The last section describes some simulation results and conclusions.
