Hello everyone!
For a project that I have to submit, I have to perform a streaming
among 2 computers (with RTP protocol) using VLC media player, and then
capture the packets with Wireshark in order to evaluate eventual packet
losses. I have got two questions:
-
As a first step I tried to use the same computer both for sending
and for receiving the stream: I opened the RTP network stream on
another window of VLC media player and the video is effectively shown.
However Wireshark captured the transmitted/received packets, but it
shows them in the log file as a list of UDP packets (layer 4 instead of
layer 7) and I can’t have access to any sequence number and,
consequently, I can’t find out anything about eventual packet losses.
How can I set up Wireshark in order to have displayed the protocol used
at layer 7 instead or 4? Or anyway, how can I have displayed the RTP
sequence of packets instead of the UDP ones? -
Alternatively do anyone know any ACTIVE source of online streaming
that broadcasts using RTP protocol and that would allow me to perform a
capture of RTP packets? It would be ok also with RTSP: in other words I
need to obtain a Wireshark log file with some consecutive sequence
numbers in order to evaluate the packet losses
Thanks a lot for your answers!
