RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol)

RTSP is a network protocol designed for controlling streaming media servers, allowing pause, play, and seek operations.

RTSP is used in IP cameras, surveillance systems, and some legacy IPTV deployments. It handles session control while the actual media is delivered via RTP. RTSP is being replaced by HTTP-based protocols for most streaming applications.
