Media Transport Protocols

Media transport protocols are systems that manage how audio and video data are transmitted across networks for services like streaming or video calls. They ensure data is sent smoothly, reaches the right destination, and arrives in the correct order, even if network conditions vary. Protocols like RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol) handle real-time media by providing timing and delivery information, while others like RTCP monitor quality. Together, these protocols enable reliable, synchronized multimedia communication over the internet, supporting seamless experiences in applications like video conferencing, streaming, and live broadcasts.
