[Live-devel] increase socket receive buffer to handle udp packet loss ?

[Ross Finlayson]

I've just added the following paragraph to the FAQ entry on packet loss:

"It's important to understand that because a LIVE555 Streaming Media 
application runs as a single thread - never writing to, or reading 
from, sockets concurrently - then if packet loss occurs, then it 
*must* be happening either (i) on the network, or (ii) in the 
operating system of the sender or receiver. There's nothing in our 
code that can be 'losing' packets."
