RTP: Audio and Video for the Internet

  • The Motivation for Multiplexing

  • Tunneling Multiplexed Compressed RTP

  • Other Approaches to Multiplexing

Multiplexing and tunneling provide an alternative to header compression, improving the efficiency of RTP by bundling multiple streams together inside a single transport connection. The aim is to amortize the size of the headers across multiple streams, reducing the per-stream overhead. This chapter discusses the motivation for multiplexing and outlines the mechanisms that can be used to multiplex RTP streams.
