RTSP is the "Real Time Streaming Protocol" developed by the
IETF and published as
[RFC 2326]. RTSP is a
protocol for use in
streaming media systems which allows a client to remotely control a streaming media server, issuing VCR-like commands such as "play" and "pause", and allowing time-based access to files on a server.
RTSP servers typically use RTP as the protocol for the actual audio/video data.
