Real-time Transport Protocol
A protocol designed for delivering real-time audio and video over IP networks.
A protocol designed for delivering real-time audio and video over IP networks.
Carrier-Grade Network Address Translation (CGNAT) is often used by network operators to allow a large number of private IP addresses, and hence users, to reside behind a small number of public IP addresses.
Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) is TV delivered over Internet Protocol (IP) rather than using QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) over a wire or OTA (Over The Air).
Digital Rights Management (DRM) is the use of keys and certificates to authorize playback of a video stream to a specific user and/or device over IP streaming like OTT. DRM provides a mechanism to distribute content encryption keys securely, to specify rules for the use of those keys, and to . . . Read more
There are many different approaches to associating attributes to an IP address and many different attributes that can apply. There are also several different approaches to delivering that data. This document will focus on attributes that fall into three categories: Identity, Service, and Location. Identity can include a user’s name, . . . Read more

A server that provides Domain Name Service (DNS) resolution. Primarily for mapping human-significant names to IP addresses. There are some other data/functions enabled by DNS as well.
iSAC is a wideband speech codec, developed by Global IP Solutions (GIPS) (later acquired by Google) and is suitable for VoIP applications and streaming audio.
Unicast delivery in IP networks involves a 1:1 data transmission scheme where one host or endpoint is communicating with one other host or endpoint exclusively. Contrast with broadcast or multicast transmission models. Unicast has been heavily used in video with the arrival of ABR streaming, leveraging the HTTP protocol.
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is one of the main transport protocols used in IP networks. It corresponds to Layer 4 in the OSI 7-layer model of the networking stack. It is a “stateless” or “connectionless” protocol which means that features such as retransmission and flow control, if desired, must be . . . Read more
