RtspProxy is a proxy server for multimedia streaming services based on the RTSP protocol.

The current version is a complete rewrite from scratch in Java of previous versions based on C++. The goal is to build a robust and scalable system usable in production environment.

The proxy is based on an asynchronous network framework, Apache MINA , which is built on Java NIO. This framework does permit to RtspProxy to handle high loads and concurrent users.

RTSP Caching Proxy is a proxy server that works with the RTSP protocol in multimedia streaming reproduction. RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) is an emerging protocol for "session initiation" scopes, its purpose is to establish the conditions of an audio-video streaming session. The streaming data is then sent over other channels using other protocol such as RTP (Real Time Protocol).

Using a RTSP proxy does permits to access multimedia content without the need of being directly connected to the internet, for example being behind a corporate firewall.

What's New in This Release:
A preliminary implementation of the IP address and host name filter was added.
The Windows startup script was fixed.
Session data is properly cleared when a session is closed.
Only a UDP port pair is used for all RTP/RTCP packet handling and sending for all the connected clients.
