RTSP was developed by RealNetworks, Netscape and Columbia University. Clients of media servers issue commands such as play, record and pause, to facilitate real-time control of the media streaming from the server to a client ( video on demand) or from a client to the server ( voice recording). The protocol is used for establishing and controlling media sessions between endpoints. RTSP is used in entertainment and communications systems to control streaming media servers. The Real Time Streaming Protocol ( RTSP) is an application-level network protocol designed for multiplexing and packetizing multimedia transport streams (such as interactive media, video and audio) over a suitable transport protocol.
