[Live-devel] RTCP timeout

Hi All,

   I'm streaming a video using RTP over a wireless channel.
If the server disappears, the client keeps sending RTCP report packets
instead of checking if the server is still alive. Such behaviour is
required by RFC 3550 (6.3.5 - Timing Out an SSRC) which states: "At
occasional intervals, the participant MUST check to see if any of the
other participants time out [...] A similar check is performed on the
sender list".

Is there any way to detect a RTCP timeout, in both the sender and the receiver?

Thanks,
R.
