`
`real-time clock n. See clock (definition 2).
`
`real-time conferencing n. See teleconferencing.
`
`Real-Time Control Protocol n. A scalable transport
`control protocol that works with the Real-Time Pro-
`tocol (RTP) to monitor real-time transmissions to
`multiple participants over a network—for example,
`during videoconferencing. The Real-Time Control
`Protocol, or RTCP, transmits packets of control infor-
`mation at regular intervals and is used to determine
`how well information is being delivered to recipients.
`Acronym: RTCP. See also Real-Time Protocol, Real-
`Time Streaming Protocol, Resource Reservation
`Setup Protocol.
`
`real-time operating system n. An operating system
`designed or optimized for the needs of a process—
`control environment. See also real-time system.
`Real-Time Protocol n. An Internet-standard network
`
`transport protocol used in delivering real-time data,
`including audio and video. The Real-Time Protocol,
`or RTP, works with both unicast (single sender, single
`recipient) and multicast (single sender, multiple re-
`cipient) services. RTP is often used in conjunction
`with the Real-Time Control Protocol (RTCP), which
`monitors delivery. Acronym: RTP. See also Real—
`Time Control Protocol, Real-Time Streaming Proto-
`col, stream.
`
`Real-Time Streaming Protocol n. A control protocol
`for the delivery of streamed multimedia data over
`Internet Protocol (IP) networks. The Real-Time
`Streaming Protocol, or RTSP, was developed by
`Columbia University, Progressive Networks, and
`Netscape and has been submitted as a proposed stan-
`dard to the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force).
`RTSP is designed to deliver real-time, live, or‘stored
`audio and video efficiently over a network. It can be
`used either for groups of recipients or for on-demand
`delivery to a single recipient. Acronym: RTSP. See
`also Advanced Streaming Format, Real-Time Proto—
`col, Resource Reservation Setup Protocol, stream.
`
`real-time system n. A computer and/or a software
`system that reacts to events before the events become
`obsolete. For example, airline collision avoidance
`systems must process radar input, detect a possible
`collision, and warn air traffic controllers or pilots
`while they still have time to react.
`
`reboot vb. To restart a computer by reloading the op-
`erating system. See also bootz, cold boot, warm boot.

`feedback to the sender that a message has been re

`
`recompile vb. To compile a program again, usually
`because of changes that need to be made in the
`source code in response to error messages generated
`by the compiler. See also compile.
