Abstract
A method of transmitting data packets, in particular of real-time or near-real-time data over internet protocol (IP) networks using a real-time protocol (RTP) for media data products and a real-time control protocol (RTCP) for control data packets. Each protocol is allocated a fraction of the available transmission bandwidth. The method comprises the steps of measuring relevant characteristics of the network link, calculating from this measurement an optimized RTCP bandwidth and transmitting control data packets using the optimized RTCP bandwidth.
