connection. Every data package that is sent from the transmitter is
signed for by the receiver. If a package gets lost it will be repeated by
the transmitter after a particular interval. If a package is received
incomplete or faulty, the receiver requests it again.
In addition, TCP guarantees that the data packages arrive at the re-
ceiver in the same order that they were sent by the transmitter.
In MERK II, TCP is used as the default transport protocol for audio
over IP. A TCP connection is always bi-directional, both encoder and
decoder are activated.
UDP
UDP is the abbreviation for
User Datagram Protocol
and describes
an unsecured or connectionless data transfer. UDP does not have
any mechanisms for confirming data receipt, nor does it have a pro-
cedure for flow control. In other words, UDP does not guarantee that
the data packages arrive in the order they were sent in.
For audio transport via IP this means that transmission security and
order must be ensured by another network instance.
UDP can be activated by inserting the letter “U” in front of the IP des-
tination address. A connection set up with UDP is unidirectional. Only
the encoder on the MERK II doing the calling is activated.
