There are a number of general topics we should list here and link to. To get things rolling:

RTSP

  • Protocol to describe, setup, play, and tear down (RTP) streams
  • Usually on port 554
  • Client can request in the setup the port range to transfer RTP back to the client ** per spec it should be a sequential range starting from an even number e.g. 9010-9011
  • TCP

RTP

  • The protocol to move the data from RTSP handshake.
  • Usually UDP, but can be TCP

RTCP

  • Protocol to send stream reports between the server and client and vice versa
  • Client sends statistic reports about the reliability of the udp stream
  • Client sends reports to keep the stream alive from the server
