a) 12 bytes
b) 16 bytes
c) 24 bytes
d) 32 bytes
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Each RTP packet has a fixed header of size 12 bytes that contains essential control information like timestamp, payload type etc. for the receiving system processing.

9. Which one of the following is not correct?
a) RTCP provides canonical end-point identifiers to all session participants
b) RTCP reports are expected to be sent by all participants
c) RTCP itself does not provide any flow encryption or authentication methods
d) RTCP handles the actual data delivery
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: RTCP works with RTP to send control packets to the users of the networks and provide canonical end-point identifiers to all session participants while RTP handles the actual data delivery.
