[Live-devel] RTCP RR reports do not reach to the server using UDP

[Muhammad Mohsin Abbasi]

Hi Ross,

We are using Amazon cloud, Amazon EC2 g2xlarge Server Instance. IP multicast  is not supported on amazon server.

The ipconfig on the server instance shows the private IP of the instance and public ip  is assigned via amazon ec2 interface. it is the private ip which is communicated to client in rtsp SETUP response. If we are able to change this ip to public ip then everything works fine.

We were thinking to make a friend class and change the member value of live555 for now. Will it be a good thing to do? or what other solution do you suggest?

Best Regards

Mohsin

OK, you confused me by talking about ‘private’ and ‘public’ addresses.  That actually turns out to be irrelevant.

The real issue is that your server is multi-homed (i.e., has more than one IP address), and is currently choosing (for LIVE555) an address that you don’t want.

The best way to fix this is to make sure that IP multicast routing is enabled on the network that you want the server to use (i.e., the ‘public’ network, in your case).  In particular, you should make sure that this network (and not your ‘private’ network) has a route for 224.0.0.0/4 on your server machine.
