/api/stream/host=172.16.197.198 would create a unicast mpeg-ts over udp
stream.
/api/stream/host=224.1.1.1 would create a multicast mpeg-ts over udp
stream.
If the host is a unicast address and the port is set to 8080, an mpeg-ts
unicast stream may be viewed at:udp://@0.0.0.0:8080
If the multicast host is set to 224.1.1.1 and the port is set to 8554, a
multicast stream may be viewed at: udp://@224.1.1.1.1:8554
IP Multicast Address Ranges and Uses
Range Start Address Range End Address Description
224.0.0.0 224.0.0.255 Reserved for special well-known
multicast addresses.
224.0.1.0 238.255.255.255 Globally-scoped (Internet-wide)
multicast addresses.
239.0.0.0 239.255.255.255 Administratively-scoped (local)
multicast addresses.
All multicast addresses begin with 1110 as shown. The well-known group has zeroes for the first
20 bits of the multicast group address, with 8 bits available to define 255 special multicast
addresses. Multicast addresses starting with 1110 1111 are locally-scoped; all other addresses are
globally-scoped (this includes addresses starting with 1110 0000 other than the 255 well-known
addresses.)
stream time to live
/api/stream/ttl=10
This setting is used to identify the number of hops that multicast packets
will live. The range is 1 to 255.
