The invention relates to streaming media transmission technique and provides a congestion control
processing method based on a RTP protocol. The congestion control
processing method comprises the following steps: linearly increasing the
transmission rate of TCP
stream, and linearly increasing the
transmission rate of streaming media; when the increase amplitude of the
transmission rate of the streaming media is greater than the increase amplitude of the transmission rate of the TCP
stream, multiplicatively decreasing the transmission rate of the streaming media; under the conditions that the
packet loss rate increases but the network is not in the congestion state, multiplicatively decreasing the transmission rate of the streaming media; and monitoring whether the network is in the congestion state or not, if the network is in the congestion state, multiplicatively decreasing the transmission rate of the TCP
stream, and if the network is not in the congestion state, returning to the step one. The invention can carry out
stream control on the
multimedia stream when the
packet loss rate increases but the congestion is not formed to avoid congestion with lower cost, and simultaneously decreases the transmission rate of the TCP stream and the transmission rate of the
multimedia stream under the condition that the congestion occurs, thereby shortening the time of the network for releasing the congestion and ensuring the fluency of streaming media transmission.
