[Live-devel] Question about openRTSP

[Eric Peters]

Hello to all,

I would do some statistics about my implemented streaming server. So I use 
openRTSP to check the "Quality of Service"-summary. I start openRTSP with the 
commandline

openRTSP -e 1200 -Q -v -V rtsp://server_host:7070/stream0 >& output.log

In a shell-script I generate ten clients which connect to the server. They all 
write to different logfiles. At the end I found in the logfiles some strange 
things. Although I stream from the same file and every client gets an own 
instance of the stream (the source isn't reused) the number of streamed packets 
is different. And although I added the flag -e 1200 which means that the client 
should receive 1200 seconds of the stream the elapsed_measurement_time is in 
some cases smaller than 1200 seconds.

Why I get different number of packets although no packet is lost? Why is the 
elapsed measurement time smaller than 1200 seconds?

I added a sample logfile if your are interested in. The used streaming server 
uses the Live Media library for RTP and RTSP support.

Greetings
Eric
