Abstract: A computer system is provided in which one or more data channels can be established within the same connection as any streaming media channels using the same setup protocol. A data channel enabled protocol layer enables establishment of any number and types of channels, whether only one channel or multiple channels, of one or more kinds of data channels. An application using the data channel enabled protocol layer may choose to establish any number and type of channels. Integrating both streaming media and related data into multiple distinct channels within a single connection provides significant advantages over maintaining separate connections and supports multiple distinct use cases.
