The Real-time Transport Protocol (or RTP) defines a standardized packet format for delivering audio and video over the Internet. It was developed by the Audio-Video Transport Working Group of the IETF and first published in 1996 as RFC 1889 which was made obsolete in 2003 by RFC 3550. Real time transport protocol can also be used in conjunction with RTSP protocol which enhances the field of multimedia applications.
RTP does not have a standard TCP or UDP port on which it communicates. The only standard that it obeys is that UDP communications are done via an even port and the next higher odd port is used for RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) communications. Although there are no standards assigned, RTP is generally configured to use ports 16384-32767.

The name refers to the voice portion of a VoIP call that is accidentally directed to a random server or is looped to terminate at the same server repeatedly. This problem is frequently the result of incomplete or incompatible VOIP software attempting to reach you. The constant barrage of calls hitting your server probably won't crash it, but they
can slow the server considerably.
