Abstract:	This document specifies an application-level protocol (i.e., payload type) for interactive shared whiteboards using the Real Time Protocol for Distributed Interactive Media (RTP/I). RTP/I defines a standardized framing for the transmission of application data and provides protocol mechanisms that are universally needed for the class of distributed interactive media. A shared whiteboard is a tool to present and edit documents (slides) in a collaborative environment (e.g., a video conference). Shared whiteboards belong to the distributed interactive media class and are therefore well suited to base their network communication model on RTP/I. This document shows how to employ RTP/I with shared whiteboards and defines application data units (ADUs) for operations needed by a whiteboard. This protocol definition allows standardized collaboration between different whiteboard implementations.
