However, the current RTSPServer implementation does not allow the same port to be re-used if the socket is in a TIME_WAIT state.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I had a look around and saw a previous thread regarding this issue (<a href="http://lists.live555.com/pipermail/live-devel/2011-July/013664.html">http://lists.live555.com/pipermail/live-devel/2011-July/013664.html</a>). For debugging it is not too difficult to reboot my system or wait for the TIME_WAIT state to end, but for restarting programmatically it would be nice if there were an option to tell the RTSPServer class that I want it to reuse the same port even if there is a socket on that port in the TIME_WAIT state.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I can obviously change the code, and have done so, but thought I would throw my vote in for allowing this behavior by design. If you would like a patch for the changes I made (basically adding a default parameter ‘Boolean allowPortReuse = false’ to the relevant RTSPServer functions), I would be happy to send one.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Chris Richardson<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Wireless Technology, Inc.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
