HTTP/TCP/UDP protocol HTTP – This unicast method can be used to traverse firewalls. Firewalls are commonly configured to allow the HTTP protocol, thus allowing RTP to be tunneled. TCP - This protocol guarantees the complete delivery of streaming data and provides better video quality. The downside of using this protocol is that the quality of its real-time effect is less than that of the UDP protocol. UDP - This protocol allows for more real-time audio and video streams.
