Summary of accomplishments by Bassam Almohammadi.

• Found many libraries for RTP (RFC 3550) / RTSP (RFC 2326):
  • LIVE555 Streaming Media -- C++, RTP/RTCP, RTSP, SIP. [1].
  • oRTP -- C, RTP/RTCP. [2].
  • RTPlib -- C, RTP/RTCP. [3].
  • ccRTP -- C++, RTP/RTCP. [4].
  • JRTPLIB -- C++, RTP, RTCP. [5].

in addition to some other libraries, but those were the most commonly used in other projects. After exploring each library's code and documentation, I found that JRTPLIB is the best candidate due to its good documentation and simplicity of reuse.

• Finished the draft implementation of a client program based on JRTPLIB documentation, still facing some problems in building the code in order to test it.

• Install and configure Darwin Streaming Server and explore the source code.
• Test streaming successfully with some clients (QuickTime and VLC).
• Looking at some open source streaming clients and trying to understand how they function. [11]
