[Live-devel] Questiones about RTSP protcol

[Ross Finlayson]

>     I am learning and implementing the RTSP protocol. When transmitting audio and video streams, does it not respond to rtcp, will the streaming server (Live555) stop transmitting?

This is not really a question about the RTSP *protocol*, but instead, a question about our *implementation* of the RTSP protocol.

Yes, if our RTSP server does not receive RTCP “Reception Report” (RR) packets or RTSP commands from the client within 65 seconds (this number is configurable; it is the “reclamationSeconds” parameter to “RTSPServer::createNew()”), then it will assume that the RTSP client has died, and terminate the connection (and stop transmitting).
