[Live-devel] UDP RTSP Stream

I wanted my RTSP stream to be UDP based not TCP based to take advantage of
the latency advantage UDP has over TCP. However I noticed the following
when I took a look at netstat while my program was running:

~# netstat | grep 8554
tcp        0      0 x.x.x.x:8554    wsip-x-x-x-x:39224 ESTABLISHED

8554 is the port I am using for the RTSP server. Why does it list tcp at
the beginning? Does that mean my stream is going over TCP? How can I adjust
it to use UDP? And if it is using UDP and I mis-understanding the output of
netstat?
