Stream and transport protocols
HTTP - Hypertext Transfer Protocol : The communication protocol for transmitting linked documents between computers; it is the basis for the World Wide Web and follows the TCP/IP protocol for the client-server model of computing. Abbreviated HTTP.
MMS - Microsoft Media Services : Microsoft’s streaming server uses the Microsoft Media Services (MMS) protocol (also called NetShow Services) to transfer unicast data. MMS can be transported via UDP or TCP.
RTP - Real-time Transport Protocol : The Real-time Transport Protocol (or RTP) defines a standardized packet format for delivering audio and video over the Internet. Without having any standard TCP or UPD port, RTP uses UDP communications which is done via an even port and the next higher odd port.
RTCP - Real-time Transport Control Protoco : RTCP stands for Real-time Transport Control Protocol, provides out-of-band control information for an RTP flow. It partners RTP in the delivery and packaging of multimedia data, but does not transport any data itself.
RTSP - Real Time Streaming Protocol : An application layer protocol used to transmit streaming audio, video and 3D animation over the Internet. It enables the user’s client software to provide remote control of the server with functions such as pause, rewind and fast forward.

I suppose ftp should probably be added to this list.
FTP - File Transfer Protocol: This is used to transfer files between server and computer or vice versa. It is used to transfer files and not open like automatically like HTTP
