Abstract

This memo describes an RTP Payload format for the ITU-TRecommendation H.264 video codec and the technically identicalISO/IEC International Standard 14496-10 video codec, excluding theScalable Video Coding (SVC) extension and the Multiview Video Codingextension, for which the RTP payload formats are defined elsewhere.The RTP payload format allows for packetization of one or moreNetwork Abstraction Layer Units (NALUs), produced by an H.264 videoencoder, in each RTP payload. The payload format has wideapplicability, as it supports applications from simple low bitrateconversational usage, to Internet video streaming with interleavedtransmission, to high bitrate video-on-demand.

This memo obsoletes RFC 3984. Changes from RFC 3984 are summarizedin Section 14. Issues on backward compatibility to RFC 3984 arediscussed in Section 15. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
