Stream Reservation Protocol (SRP)

Stream Reservation Protocol (SRP) is a network communication standard that ensures real-time data streams, like audio or video, are transmitted with guaranteed bandwidth and low latency across Ethernet networks. It reserves specific network resources for these streams, preventing other data from causing delays or interruptions. SRP enables devices to negotiate and reserve the necessary network capacity before transmitting, ensuring high-quality, uninterrupted performance critical for applications such as live broadcasting, VoIP, or industrial automation. By managing resource allocation, SRP helps maintain consistent and reliable data delivery in complex network environments.
