draft-ietf-avt-rtcp-guidelines-04 provides guidelines for extending the RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) if its existing capabilities are insufficient for some purpose. The guidelines seem good, and many of them are applicable to network protocol and extension design in general. The Security Considerations section contains a reasonable collection of advice to designers of RTCP extensions regarding the potential security impact of new extensions.
