Description

RTP Audio NextGen is an audio streaming system with support for SCTP as well as UDP transport. It is a highly advanced and reworked version of the former RTP Audio system with support for SCTP streams and SCTP partial reliability. Furthermore, it also contains a QoS management interface. RTP Audio NextGen may use layered encoding, that is the audio quality may be adapted according to QoS constraints. The main purpose of this tool is to support transport protocol and QoS research, by providing a realistic application for performance testing.
