It's a great idea, but could they please change the name?

There is already an RTP protocol [1] for UDP media streaming, and that is already frequently confused with RDP [2], for GUI remoting.

There is also an rtp:// URI scheme in use in various media applications [3, 4] to identity streaming endpoints.

So I'd kindly request not to increase the confusion even more.
