Trillium | Real Time Protocol (RTP) / Real Time Control Protocol (RTCP)
Description
Real-Time Protocol (RTP) provides end-to-end delivery services for data with real-time characteristics such as interactive audio and video. These services include payload identification, sequence numbering, timestamping and delivery monitoring. Real-Time Control Protocol (RTCP) provides feedback on the transmission and reception quality of data carried by RTP.
Trillium RTP/RTCP software enables telecom equipment manufacturers of soft switches, signaling gateways, signal transfer points, service control points, media gateway controllers or other products to:
- Accelerate time to market
- Reduce development costs
- Reduce project risk of internally developed RTP/RTCP applications
Product deliverables consist of C source software, documentation, training, a warranty and technical support.
Features and Benefits:
- Provides interfaces to create, modify, or delete media sessions.
- Provides an interface to add or delete a party to an already established media session.
- Provides RTP data transport as specified in RFC 1889.
- Supports the UDP and ATM mode of transport for RTP data.
- Supports multicast and multi-unicast addressing of remote RTP and RTCP address. Multiple remote transport addresses may be specified for each user.
- Allows using a separate control SAP and media SAP for each RTP session. This permits call control intelligence to be removed from media applications such as codecs. A session may be opened via a call control SAP with transport addresses and other session information provided. Then the media applications may send/receive RTP data on the media SAP. A single SAP may also be used to control, send, and receive media data for the RTP session.
- Support transmission and receipt of extension to RTP header.
- Allows a user to send individual RTCP packets.
- Allows different levels of the RTCP service to be specified.
- Provides a management interface for configuration and control operation, and status and statistics retrieval. It also provides protocol state and alarm information at the management interface.
- Provides extensive run-time error checking support.
- Provides extensive run-time debugging support to ease system integration and testing.
- Supports function call tracing and incoming and outgoing PDU tracing. The trace information is provided at the management interface, which can be used to support remote logging and analysis operation.
- Conforms to Trillium Advanced Portability Architecture (TAPA)
- Benefits of licensing Trillium software from Continuous Computing
