As I understand it, RTP is only a framework for a protocol, and not
actually a protocol.  I.e., they define some headers, but no delivery
semantics.  There are some RFC's that talk about how to put various
video/audio formats on top, but I think they have explicitely avoided
talking about things like redelivery, loss, etc, so there may not be
enough information to do a generic RTP implementation.  Instead, it may
have to be written for each application that runs on top.
