Editing Real-Time Streaming Protocol (section)

=== SETUP ===
: A SETUP request specifies how a single media stream must be transported. This must be done before a PLAY request is sent. The request contains the media stream URL and a transport specifier. This specifier typically includes a local port for receiving [[Real-time Transport Protocol|RTP]] data (audio or video), and another for [[RTCP]] data (meta information). The server reply usually confirms the chosen parameters, and fills in the missing parts, such as the server's chosen ports. Each media stream must be configured using SETUP before an aggregate play request may be sent.
