The current goals of the working group are to revise the main RTP specification and the RTP profile ready for advancement to draft standard stage (including the sampling algorithms for use with very large groups, which have been broken out into a separate document), to complete the RTP MIB, to produce a guidelines document for future developers of payload formats and to continue development of new payload formats.
The payload formats currently under discussion include a number of media specific formats (MPEG-4, DTMF, PureVoice) and FEC techniques applicable to multiple formats (parity FEC, Reed-Solomon coding).
