Abstract
Systems and methods exercise control over the Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) messages in order to control the underlying streaming services. The methods and systems also minimize bandwidth allocated for each streaming flow. The systems and methods control streaming services by analyzing the RTSP associated with a particular streaming service.
