Why 3550 is special

It runs over UDP and accepts packet loss deliberately: for live audio, a late packet is worse than a missing one.

In historical numeral systems

Egyptian

3 lotuses, 5 coils of rope, 5 hobbles

3 × 1,000 + 5 × 100 + 5 × 10 = 3,550. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.

Babylonian

5 corner wedges + 9 vertical wedges (sixties place), 1 corner wedge (units place)

59 × 60 + 10 = 3550. Places are separated by a space on the tablet, with the higher place written first.

Systems that simply cannot reach this value are left out. Where a script needs a font most readers do not have, the reading is given instead of the glyphs — see number systems for each system in full.

Technology & computing

  • RFC 3550 specifies RTP and its control protocol RTCP, providing sequence numbers and timestamps for reconstruction while leaving retransmission out, since delayed media is useless in a live call.
