Abstract:	This document specifies an application-level protocol (i.e., payload type) for application launch tools 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. An application launch tool is used to synchronously start applications in collaborative environments, i.e., a participant can trigger the simultaneous execution of a program at all involved sites. This document specifies how to employ an application launch tool with RTP/I and defines application data units (ADUs) for application launch tool operations. This protocol definition allows standardized communication between different application launch tool implementations.
