RidgeRun Protocol Advisor

RidgeRun Protocol Advisor

Answer a few questions and we’ll score UDP, RTSP, RTMP, and SRT using characteristics, benefits & limitations from RidgeRun’s documentation. You’ll also get RidgeRun product suggestions that fit the pick.

Network type — Managed LAN / same site Public internet / WAN High-latency / lossy (cellular/satellite)

Latency target (end-to-end) — < 100 ms (tactile / robotics) 100–500 ms (live control / security) 0.5–2 s (interactive broadcast)

Packet loss resilience — Not needed (clean network) Some (a few % bursts) Strong (frequent loss/jitter)

Security — No encryption / trusted network TLS or payload encryption required

Control & session features

Play/Pause/Seek

Audio+Video+Metadata in session

Multicast / many receivers

CDN ingest (YouTube/Wowza/etc.)

Works through strict NAT/firewall

Player compatibility — LAN apps / native players Media server / CDN ingest

Metadata workflow

SEI (H.264/H.265)

OBU (AV1)

KLV in MPEG-TS (PES)

FLV over UDP

AMF/Session metadata (RTMP)

Commercial player requirement — No (OSS ok: VLC, GStreamer) VLC compatibility needed CDN ingest (YouTube/Wowza/Nimble) VMS (Milestone/Genetec)

Synchronization & timing — Not required A/V sync only A/V + metadata frame-aligned Multi-track session sync
