Thanks Paul, Seems very very interesting.. I do have control on bothe sides. According to what I understand, the SLIP (and the other configuration) creates IP routing threw the serial line. So after assigning SLIP device and add route to some IP (real or dummy? does it matter?), every packet that I will send to this IP will pop out at the other end. Now, to use it in LIVE, I just need to provide the ip_addr (SLIP assigne ip_addr ) and port (any numebr). The socket that will be created will use this port and SLIP device for both tx and rx. Am I right? thanks again.

From my experience with Live I figure that using socket_pair will be a good solution. In that way I will be able to use the current code to send the data into the socket, and on the other side I will write some listener that will recv from the socket and transmit it using the serial port. Just a random thought, which might save you having to have this IP-to-serial conversion process... I don't know whether you've got control of the other end of the serial line, but could you not just set up a SLIP interface and send the RTP over that? The Live555 code would just see it as a normal IP interface. You'd need to do this at both ends, but you could then have a standard UDP socket listener at the receiver end to receive the RTP packets. On Linux, see `man slattach` and http://www.informit.com/library/content.aspx?b=red_hat_linux7&seqNum=62 Even if you couldn't do this at the remote end, SLIP is a really simple protocol which you could implement yourself - see: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1055 Regards Paul -- Paul Clark Packet Ship Technologies Limited http://www.packetship.com The information in this e-mail transmission contains proprietary and business sensitive information.
