Short for Real-Time Transport Protocol, an Internet protocol for transmitting real-time data such as audio and video.

Typically, RTP runs on top of the UDP protocol, although the specification is general enough to support other transport protocols. RTP has received wide industry support. Netscape intends to base its LiveMedia technology on RTP, and Microsoft claims that its NetMeeting product support RTP.
