Abstract

Various of the disclosed embodiments reduce the impact of RTCP overhead by including RTCP information in the media packets themselves. The values in the RTCP headers may be selected based on the context and organized in a unique format for transport in the media packets. For example, RTT, packet loss, and bandwidth estimates may dictate when and how RTCP data is moved into the media packet. An interface may be provided for extracting the data so that clients may easily integrate the embodiments with existing RTCP-based systems. Inclusion of the RTCP information in the media packet may increase the media packet size, which may be anticipated in bandwidth assessments and accommodations.
