Now, after receiving the response to each RTSP "SETUP" command, the code will send a couple of short, 'dummy' UDP packets towards the server. If the client is behind a NAT box (i.e., its IP address is private), then this improves the likelihood that RTP/UDP packets from the server will successfully reach the client. I.e., this change increases the likelihood that regular RTP/UDP streaming will work, so that the client does not have to resort to requesting RTP-over-TCP streaming instead.<div><br></div><div>It's important to note that this will work only if it's the RTSP *client* that's behind a NAT. As always, the RTSP *server* must be on the public Internet (i.e., has a public IP address). (We currently have no way of supporting a RTSP server that's behind a NAT.)</div><br><br><div apple-content-edited="true">
