[Live-devel] Server disconnects clients every 60 seconds

[Ross Finlayson]

> Does the requirement of the RTCP (keepalive) change at all when using RTP over RTSP?

No.


> Certainly, applications get notifications (from the TCP stack) when their peer “goes away” (stops responding to TCP keepalives).

Yes, in principle.  However, this might take a long time (possibly a very long time), depending upon the particular TCP implementation, especially if the server is not currently sending data (e.g., it had received a RTSP "PAUSE" command beforehand).


> Are you aware of any specifications (based on alternate configuration) that remove the obligation of the RTCP (or noop message) keepalives?

No, and note that RTCP "RR" packets can useful in their own right (for statistics); not just as a 'keepalive'.
