Stream</title></head><body>
<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial" size="-1">We need to
stream MPEG2 Program Stream from a live source (encoder) to a client
over a LAN for client's recording. The requirement is that client
receives the original MPEG2 Program Stream from the encoder, nothing
more, nothing less. We can tolerate packet delay, but can *<b>not</b>*
tolerate packet loss. What's the best way to do this using Live555
library code? </font></blockquote>

<div>There really isn't a good way to do this - especially not in a
way that's standardized. (Using RTP, Program Stream data is
usually sent as two separate RTP streams - one for video, the other
for audio.)</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Because you can tolerate packet delay, but not packet loss, you
should just transfer your Program Stream data using TCP rather than
RTP. I.e. just use "scp" or "ftp" - i.e.,
not using our software.</div>
