| Router |
Typically a machine, though it can also be software, that acts as a gateway to provide access to network resources, irrespective of the protocols or operating systems the users use. |
| RSVP (Resource Reservation Protocol) |
A protocol that supports the reservation of resources across an IP network. Applications running on IP end systems can use RSVP to indicate to other nodes the nature (bandwidth, jitter, maximum burst, and so on) of the packet streams they want to receive. RSVP depends on IPv6. Also known as Resource Reservation Setup Protocol. |
| RTP (Real-Time Transport Protocol) |
Commonly used with IP networks. RTP is designed to provide end-to-end network transport functions for applications transmitting real-time data, such as audio, video, or simulation data, over multicast or unicast network services. RTP provides such services as payload type identification, sequence numbering, time stamping, and delivery monitoring to real-time applications. |
