<blockquote type="cite" cite>Well, for now it's not a media file
like live555 stream usually, but a collection of media files
(images, informations about those images, etc.) I receive in a buffer,
with packet headers to delimit them.</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>I understand live555 is used to stream
audio or video files. But I have to stream JPEG too.</blockquote>

<div>Well, if your data is JPEG, see
<http://www.live555.com/liveMedia/faq.html#jpeg-streaming>.
But if it's not JPEG, then you;'ll have to do something else.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>It's important to understand that RTP is not a protocol for
streaming arbitrary, untyped data. It's a protocol for streaming
specific types of media, and you have to know in advance what type of
media you're streaming (because the details of the protocol vary
depending on the particular media type).</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>If you want to just stream arbitary, untyped data, then just use
something like HTTP.</div>
