NAME

rtpsend — generate RTP packets from textual description

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

rtpsend reads a stream of RTP and RTCP packets in a textual format produced by rtpdump(1)'s ascii or hex or rtcp from standard input and resends the traffic to the given address/port, optionally with a given value of ttl. The address defaults to “localhost”. The port number must be an even number. The input file can also be written manualy, allowing for hand-crafted packets.

The options are as follows:

-a

Include a router alert IP option in RTCP packets. This is used by the YESSIR resource reservation protoccol.

-f infile

Read the packets from the given infile instead of standard input.

-h

Display a short usage summary and exit.

-l

Send the same sequence of packets again and again. This only works if the input is read from a regular file instead of the standard input. See the -f option.

-s port

Send the packets from the given port. By default, rtpsend chooses a random port.
