How to Identify SRTP Protocol on Wireshark
Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP) is an extension of the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) that provides a standardized way to send audio and video packets over Internet Protocol (IP) networks. SRTP acts as a wrapper and encrypts the SRTP protocol to hide the information from monitors. Using the packet sniffer Wireshark, systems administrators can quickly identify RTP and SRTP streams. Wireshark enables administrators to view passing packets in real time on their network for data aggregation and troubleshooting.
