Although it's not stated explicitly, I'm pretty sure that it (and the other
fields) are the same as for the structure that's used for "In-band Header
Transmission" (in section 3.1). In particular, at the end of page 10 of RFC
5215, we see:
"The 2 byte length tag defines the length of the packed headers as the
sum of the Configuration, Comment, and Setup lengths."
I suspect that they meant to say "Identification" instead of "Configuration"
there. So, I inferred that the "length" field should be just the sum of the
lengths of the "Identification", "Comment", and "Setup" headers, but *not*
including the lengths of any of the preceding fields ("Ident", "length", "n. of
headers", "length1", "length2"). So, in your example, I think the LIVE555
server is correct in setting the "length" field to 3094, and not 3106.
So, if you agree with this, I suggest modifying VLC's code accordingly. But if
you disagree, then we should probably ask the Xiph folks for clarification...
