RTP-based loss recovery and quality monitoring for non-IP and raw-IP MPEG transport flows

摘要

In one method embodiment, transmitting a transport stream formatted according to a defined coding specification to a receive-and-process (RP) system, the transport stream format further comprising a non-Internet protocol (IP) format or a raw-IP format; providing a mapping stream, the mapping stream correlating the transport stream to a Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP)-formatted data stream that encapsulates the transport stream, the mapping stream comprising identifying information corresponding to the transport stream and second identifying information corresponding to the data stream; and transmitting the mapping stream to the RP system over an IP connection to enable RTP capabilities at the RP system.
