RFC 5760: RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) Extensions for Single-Source Multicast Sessions with Unicast Feedback

Still current, but amended. Parts of this document are changed or extended by RFC 6128. Read both.

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

This document specifies an extension to the Real-time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP) to use unicast feedback to a multicast sender. The proposed extension is useful for single-source multicast sessions such as Source-Specific Multicast (SSM) communication where the traditional model of many-to-many group communication is either not available or not desired. In addition, it can be applied to any group that might benefit from a sender-controlled summarized reporting mechanism. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
