I think you’re over-thinking the problem; it’s really quite simple.

For example, look at the code for the “testRTSPClient” demo application (in the “testProgs” directory).  Look at the implementation of “DummySink” (“testRTSPClient.cpp”, line 508).  You would do the same thing here, except that you want to process the data that has just been read (to “fReceiveBuffer”, of length “frameSize”).

This is a ‘red herring’.  You’re just writing a RTSP client, not a proxy server.
