Having worked with RTP, I was honestly very confused why anyone would pick this as the one protocol to rule them all. (Especially as most applications need RTCP too, so at best it would be two protocols to rule them all…) It’s odd that someone would propose a new protocol but not check the IANA port number registry for whether the name is already in use. Surely you’ll eventually want a port for your new protocol when it’s massively successful.
