Abstract
Dynamic control of transport protocols utilized in the streaming of media content based in part on the type of content, latency requirements, network conditions and/or device capabilities is described. The techniques provide a source device to dynamically switch between User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) to stream media content to a sink device. For example, during a Wi-Fi peer-to-peer remote display session associated with real-time media content (e.g., live streaming sporting event, or gaming applications), the source device may utilize Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) over UDP to transmit the media stream to the sink device. Conversely, when the media content is not latency critical, such as playback of stored media (e.g., movie), the source device may dynamically switch to RTP over TCP in order to provide reliable data transmission.
