JRTPLIB is an object-oriented RTP library written in C++. It was first developed for my thesis at the School for Knowledge Technology (or 'School voor Kennistechnologie' in Dutch), a cooperation between the Hasselt University and the Maastricht University.
The latest version of the library is 3.11.1 (March 2017). You can take a look at the ChangeLog and browse previous versions or development code at GitHub.
The 3.x.x series is a complete rewrite of the library and is meant to be compliant with RFC 3550. Also, the library now provides many useful components which can be helpful in building all sorts of RTP-capable applications. This version was developed at the Expertise Centre for Digital Media (EDM), a research centre of the Hasselt University.
The older 2.x series is also still available. Note that this version is not compliant with RFC 3550!
Features
The library offers support for the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP), defined in RFC 3550. It makes it very easy to send and receive RTP packets and the RTCP (RTP Control Protocol) functions are handled entirely internally. For more detailed information you should take a look at the documentation included in the package.
Platforms
Currently, the library is known to work on the following platforms:
- GNU/Linux
- MS-Windows (both Win32 and WinCE)
- Solaris
The library will probably work on other unix-like environments too.
What's the price?
The library is totally FREE!

Download
Several package formats are available:
-
The library uses the JThread library to automatically poll for incoming data in the background, so you may want to install it too. Of course, if you'd rather not have it installed, the library will also work without JThread (but you'll have to poll for incoming data yourself). Note that this version requires at least JThread 1.3.0
If you're working with Visual Studio and you're having trouble getting started, perhaps the following document can help: visual_studio_jthread_jrtplib_compilation.txt
The documentation can be generated using Doxygen, but is also available on-line at
