Hi! I wonder the following; Are there any streaming protocols over UDP that just _push_ data, without any ACK or related stuff whatsoever, or if OOB information is used, is sent over another channel.
My current Mad Idea Of The Month is to use freenet for channel announcment/subscription and then UDP/IP with randomized source addresses for sending the actual stream. You can figure it out :-)= Oh, and I meant to plug the freenet-client-administrative interface into freevo, of course. I'm pretty certain that IP source anonymizing can be done with iptables --to-source, and the freenet API's are really simple, you basically either read or write to/from a key. So what I have to do is write a deamon-plugin which reads from a video-source (locally) and sends it over anonymized UDP on demand from another freevo-freenet-watchamacallit-machine. On the client/chooser side one would list all available channels with the number of available feeds for each channel. The only way to be part of the dissemination network would of course be if one had a working feed onself. The weak part is that a "server" which pushes a TV-channel knows the destination IP, which more or less collapses the anonymity provided by freenet. One solution would be to try to stream *over freenet*, but really, it would be too slow. So.. is any of this feasible? Already done? :) /PS .. What I should be doing is try to fix or work around the Swedish xmltv breakage, but I'm at home sick and it feels to much like work :) ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
