Eugen,

Thanks for the help. Is there an advantage to using Wireshark over the
command-line output option?

>From my understanding, SIP handles the end-to-end transmission (i.e.
request/response) of TCP/UDP packets that contain the multimedia
information, instead of actually containing the real data itself. Since my
question is somewhat ambiguous, I hope this is more clear: what specific
part of the source code handles audio and video transmission, especially
one(s) that deal with the TCP/IP layer?

I've been looking around in /lib/engine so I assume that's where all of the
core/internal layer of Ekiga calls are handled...

Thanks,
Irving
