[Live-devel] Dealing with frames having missing rtp packets

Hi,

A quick question about live555 behaviour with packet loss.

Let's consider a (video) frame consisting of five packets [ ]. Packets 
have the following RTP sequence enumeration:

  [11] [12] [13] [14] [15]

(all packets have the same rtp timestamp as they belong to the same frame)

Now, let's imagine that a single packet is lost in the transmission and 
we get the following sorted sequence of RTP packets:

  [11] [12] [14] [15]

Does live555 scrap frames with missing RTP sequence numbers, or does it 
consider them as valid frames, passing them on to afterGettingFrame?


Regards,

Sampsa
