rtpstats.pl - Displays packet statistics for an RTP session
rtpstats.pl <address> [<port>]
rtpstats.pl displays packet statistics for an RTP session. It is a clone of rtpqual by Matthew B Mathis with a few changes in design. If no port is specified, then port 5004 is assumed.
rtpstats.pl uses seperate threads for recieving packets and displaying statistics, so version 5.8 or greater of perl is recommended for stable threading.
For every second that passes, a row is printed for each transmitter to the multicast group. The first (left-hand) second displays statistics for the current second, and the second (right-hand) second displays the cumulative totals for transmitter.
