Abstract
This document describes the results achieved when simulating the
timing rules of the Extended RTP Profile for Real-time Transport
Control Protocol (RTCP)-Based Feedback, denoted AVPF. Unicast and
multicast topologies are considered as well as several protocol and
environment configurations. The results show that the timing rules
result in better performance regarding feedback delay and still
preserve the well-accepted RTP rules regarding allowed bit rates for
control traffic.

1. Introduction
The Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) is widely used for the
transmission of real-time or near real-time media data over the
Internet. While it was originally designed to work well for
multicast groups in very large scales, its scope is not limited to
that. More and more applications use RTP for small multicast groups
(e.g., video conferences) or even unicast (e.g., IP telephony and
media streaming applications).
RTP comes together with its companion protocol Real-time Transport
Control Protocol (RTCP), which is used to monitor the transmission of
the media data and provide feedback of the reception quality.
Furthermore, it can be used for loose session control. Having the
scope of large multicast groups in mind, the rules regarding when to
