[Live-devel] question for RTSP/RTP sequence number

[Ross Finlayson]

>1. does livemedia have mechanism to reorder the RTP packet by 
>sequence number if the client doesn't receive in order??

Yes, and this is done automatically.  (I.e., you don't have to do 
anything special to get this.)  RTP receivers (that use our code) 
will *never* get out-of-order data.


>2. if 1 is yes, how long will livemedia  drop the late RTP packet??

By default,  if a sequence number packet gap is seen, the code will 
wait 100000 microseconds (i.e., 100 ms) for the late packet to 
arrive, before it is dropped.  However, you can change this threshold 
using the function

void MultiFramedRTPSource::setPacketReorderingThresholdTime(unsigned uSeconds)
