Lastly but definitely not the least, I thank my wife, Oluwatomilayo, for her love, support and patience that gave me the energy to complete the work presented in this report. iii Video over Internet Protocol (VIP): Acknowledgements Analysis using SIP, RTP/RTCP Protocols To my beloved ones, with whom I share my challenges and rewards iv Video over Internet Protocol (VIP): Abstract Analysis using SIP, RTP/RTCP Protocols Abstract The goal of this project is to analyze video calls over the Internet Protocol (Video over IP) using a simulated IMS environment (IMS-in-a-box). The thesis presents an overview of IMS, its purpose and how it has evolved. The thesis also attempts to give the reader a full and comprehensible understanding of what the IMS is all about, its purpose and why it came into existence. The thesis considers a number of different video call case scenarios that are most likely to be encountered when making video calls over the Internet using the Internet protocol. This analysis focuses mainly on the SIP, RTP/RTCP protocols and how these three protocols are related and synchronized in order to actually know what is happening during the course of call set up and media exchange between the various end callers involved. The report looks into aspects of bandwidth consumption by the exchanged media (RTP and RTCP), jitter and its variation over the duration of the calls and the cooperation between the control plane and the user plane in order for a smooth call set up, media exchange and release of network resources. The thesis focuses on the areas of interest mentioned above, as these protocols have been identified as being of high significance in media transfer during video calls over IP.

Even Ericsson Ericsson University of Glasgow Google RFC 8872 Guidelines for Using the Multiplexing Features of RTP to Support Multiple Media Streams Abstract The Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) is a flexible protocol that can be used in a wide range of applications, networks, and system topologies. That flexibility makes for wide applicability but can complicate the application design process. One particular design question that has received much attention is how to support multiple media streams in RTP. This memo discusses the available options and design trade-offs, and provides guidelines on how to use the multiplexing features of RTP to support multiple media streams.

  • Real-Time Transport Protoco
    Real-time Transport Protocol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_Transport_Protocol Real-time Transport Protocol From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Real-time Transport Protocol ( RTP ) defines a standardized packet format for delivering audio and video over the Internet. It was developed by the Audio-Video Transport Working Group of the IETF and first published in 1996 as RFC 1889, superseded by RFC 3550 in 2003. RTP is used extensively in communication and entertainment systems that involve streaming media, such as telephony, video teleconference applications and web-based push to talk features. For these it carries media streams controlled by H.323, MGCP, Megaco, SCCP, or Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) signaling protocols, making it one of the technical foundations of the Voice over IP industry. RTP is usually used in conjunction with the RTP Control Protocol (RTCP). While RTP carries the media streams (e.g., audio and video) or out-of-band events signaling (DTMF in separate payload type), RTCP is used to monitor transmission statistics and quality of service (QoS) information. When both protocols are used in conjunction, RTP is usually originated and received on even port numbers, whereas RTCP uses the next higher odd port number.

The ITU-T recommendation H.323 [2], and Abstract furtherly the recommendation H.225.0 [3] include RTP as the transport protocol of multimedia sessions. This paper presents the current status of two internet This paper firstly reviews the RTP and RTCP protocols protocols: Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) and RTP in the chapters 2 and 3 and starts then discussing the Control Protocol (RTCP). Together these protocols may various ways to utilize the RTP protocol. These include provide controlled delivery of multimedia traffic over dynamic QoS control, which is discussed in chapter 4, the Internet. The feedback mechanisms for the quality of and the treatment of low-bandwidth links, which is service (QoS) monitoring, such as delay, jitter and discussed in the chapter 5. The chapter 6 presents the packet loss calculations, are described in detail. The general requirements for a RTP multiplexing scheme. In scalability issues with large multicast groups are the concluding chapter also the future plans of the IETF discussed next. The future development of the RTP concerning RTP protocol are shortly discussed. protocol with associated extensions for low-speed links and user multiplexing are described lastly. 2 Real Time Transport Protocol 1 Introduction RTP [4] is a real-time end-to-end transport protocol.
