You are right that RTCP is not mandatory along with RTP data transfert,
but some parameters like how to convert the timestamp carried in the RTP
header into "play time" is necessary, unless VLC uses only the
static payload type assignement (the one specified in RFC 1890).<br>
I have also remarked that the streaming data is always carried over
profile type 33 (MP2T encoding), where can I found the specification of
this payload type?<br><br>
As a general question, would it be possible to use Windows Media Player,
RealOne or QuickTime to play a stream sent by a VLC streamer that uses
the RTP access? If so what is the URL I sould specify in those
players?<br><br>
Thanks a lot<br><br>

When using RTP as access for streaming, does both data transfer and
control session take place between the VLC streamer and the VLC player
?<br>
By using a network sniffer, I was able to see the RTP data transfer
session only but not the RTP control session.<br>
From my understanding, the RTP RFC specifies the usage of those two
protocols, so does it mean than VLC implement a non standard RTP protocol
?<br>

like to get feedback over the link quality then using RTCP would be a

VLC uses livedotcom library todo RTP. It also has RTCP capablities AFAIK,
you could try to use the RTCP part in conjunction with RTP. The team
would be willing to except patches for this.<br><br>
