Patent ID: 10819524

Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices of the various embodiments provide for header extension preservation, security, authentication, and/or protocol translation for Multipath Real-Time Transport Protocol (MPRTP). Various embodiments include methods that may be implemented in a processor of a computing device for MPRTP transmission of Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP) packets. Various embodiments may include receiving an RTP packet in which the received RTP packet may be part of an RTP stream that may be protected using secure RTP (SRTP), and applying an authentication signature to the RTP packet to authenticate an MPRTP header extension separate from a body of the RTP packet. Various embodiments may include sending and/or receiving MPRTP subflows of an MPRTP session in which a same security context may be applied across all MPRTP subflows of the MPRTP session.
