Hi all,

is there a convenient way (bindings?) to use RTP/RTCP protocols 
from within a D project? I'm developing a client/server 
application where only tiny bursts of data (i.e. messages) have 
to be exchanged between srv and clt, and TCP sockets don't do the 
trick ;_;
Or is there a better, but whole different approach to this than 
the RTP protocol family?
Thx 4 answering!

AFIAK RTP doesn't handle messages at all. It's about getting real-time 
streams with proper QoS. So I'd say it's plain unusable for short burst 
messaging.

I'd look at plain UDP datagrams it's as fast as it gets in sending 
messages. The advnatage is - you'd get only the whole message (no 
pieces) and no overhead compared to TCP (connection state, buffering 
etc.). But it's very simple and doesn't check for lost packets (messages).

If you need reliability there is an RUDP aka reliable datagram protocol 
though I don't think it's supported on all OSes.

no problem ;)
