To be a little more specific, we have analyzed the traffic with Ethernet
analyzers. The hinted .mov files we are playing contain two tracks - one
audio and one video. The client opens an RTSP session to DSS @ port 554
(with randomized local port); this RTP session will result in 4 UDP sockets
per RTP:
Server Client
554 1046 RTSP to DESCRIBE, SETUP, PLAY the .mov URL
6970 6970 RTP for audio
6971 6971 RTCP for audio
6970 6972 RTP for video
6971 6973 RTCP for video
This is why Larry expects the "RTP connections" to be double the count of
RTSP connections. If you expect the RTP connections to be "not that far
apart" from the RTSP count, then exactly what does the RTP connections count
mean? How would analyze the problem of descrepancy in the counts? (With
some clues we can investigate this better).
Thanks,
Don
