Abstract

   This document defines the procedure to register RTP Payload Formats
   as audio, video or other MIME subtype names.  This is useful in a
   text-based format or control protocol to identify the type of an RTP
   transmission.  This document also registers all the RTP payload
   formats defined in the RTP Profile for Audio and Video Conferences as
   MIME subtypes.  Some of these may also be used for transfer modes
   other than RTP.
