Dear Team at Ostinato,

I am looking for some notes on how to generate RTSP traffic and program Ostinato through Python API. Let me know where can i find documentation to read and generate synthetic Video traffic (RTSP) from Host A to Host B connect to each other over WAN link.

It would be really to nice to hear from you on above request.

Hi pal. 
What are the stream attributes you need to manipulate? I can suggest you a Lil hack - to use VLC player as a RTSP server, capture the traffic, then manipulate it using scapy or something similar. It is barely possible to generate RTSP tra‎ffic with Ostinato and little efforts.

You can change some protocol fields like IP src-dst using scapy and captured VLC stream. That is, first you capture the media stream, then altering it via scapy and playing back. 
Haven't faced similar case with RTSP and Ostinato, any ideas, fellas?‎ Am I right that this is kinda unusual task for Ostinato?

Dear John,

I have VLC media player that i use as streaming server. The idea is to automate the traffic generation by scripting it. I thought of doing that automation using Ostinato.
Nevertheless, let me know how can scapy or something can come handy in generating synthetic traffic. 

Stream Type - RTSP
Streaming Server - VLC media player
Encapsulation - MPEG-TS
Codec - H264
Bit stream - Default however i often change the bitstream value and keep it greater than 2048 Kbps.
Audio Codec - MPEG

Let me know how to use it for traffic generation using Ostinato.

Gaurav Thapar

Are you looking for RTP or RTSP?

Although I'm not an expert, but I believe RTP is the actual video content encapsulated inside UDP. RTSP is the signaling protocol running over TCP.

Ostinato cannot do stateful TCP conversations, so it is not possible to create RTSP. RTP may be possible - check the archives of the mailing list for instructions.

Dear Srivats,

VLC streaming server gives me choices to use either http, rtp or RTSP & few other protocols to do unicast streaming from server to client. I am sure of the fact that RTSP is separate & RTP stream is separate unlike voice traffic where signaling happens on SIP and voice payload goes in RTP stream.


Stream Type - RTSP
Streaming Server - VLC media player
Encapsulation - MPEG-TS
Codec - H264
Bit stream - Default however i often change the bitstream value and keep it greater than 2048 Kbps.
Audio Codec - MPEG

Let me know your thoughts and comments.

RTSP is signalling, separate from RTP which is media.
Why do you say "unlike" voice ?
SIP is signalling and RTP is media there, too.

Thanks Carlos. i see list of protocol to stream a video file from server to client. that's why i called it RTSP & RTP as two different ways to transmit the stream from source.
