Abstract
This document describes a payload type for bundled, MPEG-2 encoded
video and audio data that may be used with RTP, version 2. Bundling
has some advantages for this payload type particularly when it is
used for video-on-demand applications. This payload type may be used
when its advantages are important enough to sacrifice the modularity
of having separate audio and video streams.
1. Introduction
This document describes a bundled packetization scheme for MPEG-2
encoded audio and video streams using the Real-time Transport
Protocol (RTP), version 2 [1].
The MPEG-2 International standard consists of three layers: audio,
video and systems [2]. The audio and the video layers define the
syntax and semantics of the corresponding "elementary streams." The
systems layer supports synchronization and interleaving of multiple
compressed streams, buffer initialization and management, and time
identification. RFC 2250 [3] describes packetization techniques to
transport individual audio and video elementary streams as well as
the transport stream, which is defined at the system layer, using the
RTP.
