RTSP

(RealTime Streaming Protocol) An application layer protocol used to stream audio, video and 3D animation over the Internet. RTSP enables the user's client software to provide remote control of the server with functions such as pause, rewind and fast forward. RTSP was developed by Netscape and Progressive Networks and is widely used in conjunction with the RTP transport protocol. See RTP and streaming protocols.
