This manpage describes \fBsydra\fR the basic utility for the task which is based on GStreamer and is written in C\&. The \fBsydra\fR utility creates a gstreamer pipeline to send or receive RTP\-based Audio/Video streams\&. For a bidirectional connection 2 instances of \fBsydra\fR are required on both sides of the communication\&. \fBsydra\fR has automatic client detection capabilities in the form of keep alive messages\&. These message are sent out by receivers to request RTP packets from a sender\&. The sender will send RTP packets to one or more receivers which request the stream\&. It also uses the keep alive messages to remove stale client \fIconnections\fR\&. A receiver can also request to be removed from the list of receivers\&. This ensures a fast and clean shutdown\&. The keepalive messages are also a simple way to work around NAT and firewalls (UDP hole punching)\&. .SH "OPTIONS" .sp The following options can be passed to the \fBsydra\fR daemon: -- cgit v1.2.3
