ISO/IEC 14496-8:2004提供了通过IP网络传输ISO/IEC 14496内容的框架，以及设计有效负载格式规范的指南，用于将ISO/IEC 14496内容详细映射到多个基于IP的协议中。更具体地说: a） 通过IP网络传输ISO/IEC 14496内容的框架； b） ISO/IEC 14496内容的RTP有效载荷格式设计指南，包括碎片化和连接规则； c） SDP传输ISO/IEC 14496-1相关信息的使用规则； d） ISO/IEC14496内容的MIME类型定义；和 e） RTP安全和多播分析。

ISO/IEC 14496-8:2004 provides a framework for the carriage of ISO/IEC 14496 contents over IP networks and guidelines for designing payload format specifications for the detailed mapping of ISO/IEC 14496 content into several IP-based protocols. More specifically: a) Framework for the carriage of ISO/IEC 14496 contents over IP networks; b) Guidelines to design RTP payload formats for ISO/IEC 14496 contents including fragementation and concatenation rules; c) Usage rules of SDP to transport ISO/IEC 14496-1-related information; d) MIME type definitions for ISO/IEC14496 contents; and e) Analysis on RTP Security and Multicasting.
