RTCP

Real-time Transport Control Protocol, defined in

RFC 3550, a sister protocol of the Real-time

Transport Protocol (RTP), It partners RTP in the delivery and packaging of multimedia data,

but does not transport any data itself. It is used periodically to transmit control packets to

participants in a streaming multimedia session. The primary function of RTCP is to provide

feedback on the quality of service being provided by RTP.

RTP

Real-time Transport Protocol defines a standardized packet format for delivering audio and

video over the Internet. It was developed by the Audio-Video Transport Working Group of the

IETF and first published in 1996 as RFC 1889

SDP

Session Description Protocol, is a format for describing streaming media initialization

parameters. It has been published by the IETF as RFC 2327.

SIP

Session Initiation Protocol, An IP telephony signaling protocol developed by the IETF

(RFC3261). SIP is a text-based protocol suitable for integrated voice-data applications. SIP is

designed for voice transmission and uses fewer resources and is considerably less complex than

H.323.

All Grandstream products are SIP based

STUN

Simple Traversal of UDP over NATs, is a network protocol allowing clients behind NAT (or

multiple NATs) to find out its public address, the type of NAT it is behind and the internet side

port associated by the NAT with a particular local port. This information is used to set up UDP

communication between two hosts that are both behind NAT routers. The protocol is defined in

RFC 3489. STUN will usually work good with non-symmetric NAT routers.

TCP

Transmission Control Protocol, is one of the core protocols of the Internet protocol suite. Using

TCP, applications on networked hosts can create connections to one another, over which they

can exchange data or packets. The protocol guarantees reliable and in-order delivery of sender

to receiver data.

TFTP

Trivial File Transfer Protocol, is a very simple

file transfer protocol, with the functionality of a

very basic form of FTP; It uses UDP (port 69) as its transport protocol.

UDP

User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is one of the core protocols of the

Internet protocol suite. Using

UDP, programs on networked computers can send short messages known as

datagrams to one
