 A description of the currently available protocols follows.
 
+@section amqp
+
+Advanced Message Queueing Protocol (AMQP) version 0-9-1 is a broker based
+publish-subscribe communication protocol.
+
+FFmpeg must be compiled with --enable-librabbitmq to support AMQP. A separate
+AMQP broker must also be run. An example open-source AMQP broker is RabbitMQ.
+
+When connecting to the broker, a client sets an "exchange" and a "routing key".
+These keys are used to filter connections: A streaming client will only receive
+the data that matches their "exchange" and "routing key".
+
+After starting the broker, an FFmpeg client may stream data to the broker using
+the command:
+
+@example
+ffmpeg -re -i input -f mpegts amqp://[user:password@@]hostname:port
+@end example
+
+Where hostname and port is the location of the broker. The client may also
+set a user/password for authentication. The defaults for both fields are
+"guest".
+
+A separate instance can stream from the broker using the command:
+@example
+ffplay amqp://[user:password@@]hostname:port
+@end example
+
+The protocol supports the following options:
+
+@table @option
+
+@item routing_key
+Sets the routing key. The default value is "amqp". Clients can
+only stream data which has the same key. Multiple clients may stream data to the
+broker with different keys.
+
+@item exchange
+Sets the exchange to use on the broker. The default value is "amqp.direct".  A
+broker may have multiple exchanges which are configured on the broker side.
+
+@item pkt_size
+Maximum size of each packet sent/received to the broker. Default is 131072.
+Minimum is 4096 and max is any large value (representable by an int). When
+receiving packets, this sets an internal buffer size in FFmpeg. It should be
+equal to or greater than the size of the sent packets to the broker. Otherwise
+the received message may be truncated causing decoding errors.
+
+@item connection_timeout
+The timeout in milliseconds during the initial connection to the broker.
+
+@end table
+
 @section async
