[streaming] Re: Control port for streaming used by VLC

[Mohamed Gombolaty]

Dear Benjamin,

You are totally right only doing QoS for the port we
use to stream does the trick, there are known
softwares for video and voice that are actually using
this control port(they are mostly TCP) such as cisco
IP TV software which is used by Walt Diseny for
example.

Anyway I would like to thank you for your help, and
just as an info to the developers of the software,
most of the guys in work are currently using the
software to stream songs and movies they really loved
the software, keep up the good work.

Thx
MAG
