This is exactly the same situation as in the example with the BitBand server
you've provided in your last email:

                        %%%%%%IMPORTANT START%%%%%%%%
Media Description, name and address (m): video 0 RTP/AVP 33
Media Type: video
Media Port: 0
Media Proto: RTP/AVP
Media Format: MPEG-II transport streams
Media Attribute (a): rtpmap:33 MP2T/90000

> I want the server to send packets over UDP.

Please note, that raw UDP transport is not suitable for multimedia delivery
over IP networks, since it's not able to correctly handle standard situations
(packet reordering/duplication).

Therefore I'd recommend to always use RTP unless you have a very specific 
problem which can't be resolved in any other way - e.g. a set-top-box which 
does not understand MPEG-TS over RTP. 



	With kind regards,
