But if your have a firewall that blocks UDP packets, your client can, instead, request RTP-over-TCP (using the RTSP TCP connection).  You can test this using VLC (which automatically tries RTP-over-TCP within a few seconds if RTP-over-UDP doesn't work).  Or you can use our “openRTSP” command-line RTSP client, using the “-t” option.

Also a reminder (to everyone) that you should use RTSP-over-TCP streaming *only if* you have a firewall - between your server and client - that blocks UDP packets.
