2.1.3 Applicability

The MSS system is used to deliver real-time multimedia data by streaming it. The term streaming means that the data is transmitted at some fixed rate or at some rate that is related to the rate at which the data will be consumed, for example, displayed by the receiver.

The applicability of each member protocol that is supported by the system, as described in section 2.2, depends on the use cases in section 2.5 and the protocol relevance, as described in section 2.3.

For individual protocol applicability, see the specifications of the protocols that are supported by the MSS system, as listed in section 2.2.
