Abstract: In this paper, we discuss the development of MPEG media transport (MMT), which is a next-generation media transport standard effort by ISO/MPEG. The architecture and functional areas of MMT are described. The functionality of existing media transport is analyzed to determine whether there is a need for this new media standard. From this analysis, potential areas for standardization in MMT have been identified.
