Abstract
The present invention proposes an apparatus and a method for selecting a transport control mechanism to be used between a first device () and a second device (). Firstly, a first unit () obtains first information indicating the transport control mechanism supported by the first device () and second information indicating the transport control mechanism supported by second device (); then, a second unit () selects the transport control mechanism to be used between the first device () and the second device () on the basis of the first and second information and a preset rule. With the apparatuses and methods provided in the present invention, the problem of how to select the transport control mechanism to be used between the media server and the media client is well solved. Furthermore, by applying the defined messages and the interaction process in IGRS protocols, there is no need for additional messages nor for an additional interaction process.
