+
+This library was started as a term project in VoIP Security, a class taught by 
+Prof. Henning Schulzrinne at Columbia University. Version 0.1 (not released as such)
+was written by Vaishnav Janardhan (vj2135@columbia.edu) and Arne Kepp (ak2618@columbia.edu).
+
+This version was rewritten by Arne Kepp, as a student project under the supervision of 
+Prof. Henning Schulzrinne, Columbia University.
+
+------Abstract
+jlibrtp is a library that implements the Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP), 
+a well-established standard for streaming media across IP-based networks, in Java. 
+The purpose  of this library is to make it easy for application developers to 
+create applications for peer to peer streaming of audio, video and other data. 
+In addition, developers will need a protocol to establish contact with peers, 
+such as Session Initialization Protocol (SIP) and/or SDP.
+
+The library accepts any kind of binary data, handles packet parsing and reordering, 
+maintains a participant database and the control connection associated with the 
+protocol. The application is notified of received data through a callback-interface. 
+The library supports IPv4, IPv6 and multicast. It does currently not support encryption, 
+and should not be used in cases where confidentiality is important before this has 
+been remedied.
+
+Please refer to http://jlibrtp.org for more information and newer versions.
+
+The library requires Sun Microsystems Java 1.5.0 or greater, or equivalent.
+
+The Library is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License, see LICENSE.txt
+
+The demonstration programs can be compiled as follows:
+javac ./jlibrtpDemos/SoundSenderDemo.java jlibrtp/*.java
