Real-Time Transport protocol o Real-time traffic v.S. multimedia traffic o Real-time communication is the almost simultaneous production and use of the data, ignoring the short delay in transmission
3 Real-Time Transport Protocol Real-time traffic v.s. multimedia traffic Real-time communication is the almost simultaneous production and use of the data, ignoring the short delay in transmission
Example 1 An example of non-real-time multimedia traffic is the downloading of a video from the Interne which has already been made Http Client Http Server Internet Http Request Http Response Audio or video data but not real-time traffic
4 Example 1 An example of non-real-time multimedia traffic is the downloading of a video from the Interne which has already been made
Example 2 Consider a video conference in which a camera is connected to a server that transmits video information as it is produced erver Client Internet Video frames are transmitted as they are produced
5 Example 2 Consider a video conference in which a camera is connected to a server that transmits video information as it is produced
Streaming Services o Unlike applications that transfer a fixed amount of data in each request or response, a streaming service provides a continuous, arbitrarily long stream of data o The stream of data is neither limited in size nor in the time it takes to transfer o The stream is theoretically infinite . or persists for a long time(hours)
6 Streaming Services Unlike applications that transfer a fixed amount of data in each request or response, a streaming service provides a continuous, arbitrarily long stream of data The stream of data is neither limited in size nor in the time it takes to transfer The stream is theoretically infinite, or persists for a long time (hours)
Real-Time delivery o An application is classified as real-time if the data must be delivered with exactl the same time relationship as it was created o Streaming is often linked to real-time delivery because applications such as audio and video that are appropriate for streaming require real-time delivery
7 Real-Time Delivery An application is classified as real-time if the data must be delivered with exactly the same time relationship as it was created Streaming is often linked to real-time delivery because applications such as audio and video that are appropriate for streaming require real-time delivery
Real-Time Delivery(cont) o Two aspects to real-time delivery that protocol software is required to handle o Order: Incoming data must be played in exactly the same order it was created o Time To create an exact reproduction of the input signal, a receiver must know the exact time at which each packet was produced; the receiver converts the data back to analog forms and plays each piece of analog output at exactl the time that piece occurred in the input

Two aspects to real-time delivery that protocol software is required to handle: ⚫ Order: Incoming data must be played in exactly the same order it was created ⚫ Time: To create an exact reproduction of the input signal, a receiver must know the exact time at which each packet was produced; the receiver converts the data back to analog forms, and plays each piece of analog output at exactly the time that piece occurred in the input
