Abstract Abstract
This memo discusses issues that arise when multiplexing RTP data This memo discusses issues that arise when multiplexing RTP data

Following the terminology of [6], we identify three RTP/RTCP flows in Following the terminology of [6], we identify three RTP/RTCP flows in
an SSM session: an SSM session:
1. RTP and RTCP flows between media sender and distribution source. 1. RTP and RTCP flows between media sender and distribution source.
In many scenarios, the media sender and distribution source are In many scenarios, the media sender and distribution source are
collocated, so multiplexing is not a concern. If the media co-located, so multiplexing is not a concern. If the media
sender and distribution source are connected by a unicast sender and distribution source are connected by a unicast
connection, the rules in Section 5.1 of this memo apply to that connection, the rules in Section 5.1 of this memo apply to that
connection. If the media sender and distribution source are connection. If the media sender and distribution source are
connected by an Any Source Multicast connection, the rules in connected by an Any Source Multicast connection, the rules in
Section 5.2 apply to that connection. If the media sender and Section 5.2 apply to that connection. If the media sender and
distribution source are connected by a Source Specific Multicast distribution source are connected by a Source Specific Multicast
connection, the RTP and RTCP packets MAY be multiplexed on a connection, the RTP and RTCP packets MAY be multiplexed on a
