Softil’s Advanced RTP/RTCP (Real-Time Transport Protocol/Real-Time Transport Control Protocol) Stack provides enhanced media transport functionality, including support for IMS, security and IPv6. The Advanced RTP/RTCP stack seamlessly scales from small, embedded platforms up to densely populated parallel processing environments.
Formerly Radvision Advanced RTP RTCP ToolKit, or A-RTP
Highlights
Supports latest standards
Supports IETF RFC 3550, which replaces RFC 1889, delivering the most advanced RTP stack available on the market.
Integrated solution
Seamlessly works with other Softil Developer tools, such as the SIP, H.323, and MEGACO Toolkits and stacks and the Multimedia Terminal Framework Learn more on our products in Softil’s Developer Community.
Support for web deployments
Includes support for WebRTC Media, including DTLS Transport (RFC 6347) and support for DTLS / SRTP / SRTCP / ICE single port multiplexing (RFC 5761). For WebRTC applications is used as part of the WebRTC Interconnect Solution.
For developers of
- IP phones and Media phones
- Media servers
- Webcams
- MEGACO Gateways
Advanced RTP Stack Architecture
This Advanced RTP stack is a modular SDK in design and implementation. The extensive APIs and optional add-on modules offer application developers a large range of media related services.
The Advanced RTP stack is designed for high-end applications implemented in real-time, multi-threaded environments. It is written in ANSI C and is available on multiple operating systems through the use of Softil’s Common Core. The stack enables various run-time settings such as filters and bandwidth and provides both high level and low level/fine grain APIs to provide maximum flexibility. In addition, both asynchronous and synchronous operation modes are supported.

All Softil products and solutions address interoperability issues between disparate networks, protocols and devices. The Advanced RTP stack has been thoroughly tested for full interoperability with other clients and servers.
The Advanced RTP stack is based on Softil’s Common Core, an operating system abstraction layer specifically optimized for communication protocols and embedded platforms. This ensures easy portability of developed products between platforms and operating systems, including those not directly supported by Softil.
