A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Audio/Video Transport Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Tunneling multiplexed Compressed RTP ('TCRTP')
	Author(s)	: B. Thompson, T. Koren, D. Wing
	Filename	: draft-ietf-avt-tcrtp-00.txt
	Pages		: 
	Date		: 15-Mar-00
	
This document describes a method to improve the end-to-end bandwidth utilization of RTP streams over an IP network using compression and multiplexing. Several application level compression/multiplexing solutions have been evaluated so far in the IETF AVT Working Group. This proposal differs from other solutions in that neither compression nor multiplexing needs to be done at application level. 
Because of this, existing RTP based applications do not need to change to support this encapsulation format.

Instead of proposing a new encapsulation format for end to end multiplexing, this document describes the application of existing protocols for compression, multiplexing, and end to end tunneling.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
