JRTPLIB v2.x

JRTPLIB is an object-oriented RTP library written in C++. It was partly developed for my thesis at the School for Knowledge Technology (or 'School voor Kennistechnologie' in Dutch), a cooperation between the Hasselt University and the Maastricht University.

The latest version of the 2.x series of the library is 2.9 (July, 2004). Note that this series is based upon the now obsolete RFC 1889.

1. Features

The 2.x series of the library offers support for the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) as defined in (the now obsolete) RFC 1889. It makes it very easy to send and receive RTP packets and the RTCP (RTP Control Protocol) functions are handled entirely internally. For more detailed information you should take a look at the reference manual included in the package.

2. Platforms

Currently, the library is known to work on the following platforms: The library will probably work on other unix-like environments too.

3. What's the price?

The library is totally FREE!

4. Download

The latest stable version:

BUGFIXES

If you'd happen to create something useful with JRTPLIB, you're always welcome to mention somewhere that it uses the library, but you're not obligated to do so.

5. Remarks

If you want to compile the examples, it may be necessary to include some additional files. Also, keep in mind that the examples were meant for a unix-like platform. If you want to compile and run them on a MS-Windows platform, you will need to make a call to WSAStartup in the beginning and WSACleanup at the end.

6. Copyright & disclaimer

The following copyright notice and disclaimer applies to the library.

Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions:

So basically, you can use the library in any way you like, as long as you leave the copyright and disclaimer in the sources.
