Hi all!

I am just trying to figure out under which circumstances RTCP is more
appropriate to use than RTSP?

Since the two protocols have completely different functionality this
question is about as easy to answer as asking when you would use ICMP
rather than ftp. See http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~hgs/rtp and
http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~hgs/rtsp for some relevant high-level
information.


Also, I was thinking about using a layered encoding system to
dynamically adapt the unicast RTP transmission to the network
conditions. For this I would use say 3 or 4 different RTP channels each
sending a portion of the media file and if the network is really busy,
scaling down to just transmitting on the core media channel. For this
idea would it be better to have just the one RTCP channel reporting on
all or one per RTP channel?.

This topic has seen many papers in the past few years. The topic is
probably best discussed on the rem-conf(_at_)es(_dot_)net list, the AVT mailing
list.


Any opinions/corrections on this would be greatly appreciated!
Rgds,
Nikki
