Indeed. And ICE is hugely complicated and totally overkill for RTSP. 
Unfortunately, I do not think there is a properly stream-lined NAT extension 
for RTSP.

For VoD, unicast TCP would be best, but it is unspecified. I agree that 
interleaved TCP remains the only solution (and thus best by eliminaiton).

Unfortunately, the existing VLC HTTPd core is totally unsuited for interleaved 
TCP. FWIW, I've been meaning and failing to "fix" it for most of 6 years.
