Personally, I have some trouble with the work proprietary above.
SSL 2 and SSL 3 protocols have been IETF drafts from the beginning.
We aren't talking about SSL, Mr. Karlton. We are talking about RTP vs. a proprietary audio encapsulation. If you don't know what RTP is, you to learn before talking about it.
