Subject: [MMUSIC] Delay in RTSP responses from Server

Hi,
          I have developed a RTSP Client to interact with a VoD Server and it is streaming MPEG-2 Videos quite well. Sometimes I am observing delays in getting response for PLAY,PUASE,TEARDOWN messages from the Server. Assuming that the Server is responding intact under heavy loaded condition the source of the problem goes to the Network congestion. Under heavy video traffic when the network is overloaded there are chances that small RTSP Messages are getting lost(and so TCP retransmission at the Server will try sending again and again) and so there is a delay in getting response. Is there any already existing mechanism to implement End to end QoS mechanism for giving priority to RTSP Messages. Is there any already established method to overcome such problems. I feel RTSP Control messages are very important from a viewers perspective.Just thinking about a viewer who is not able to STOP the video for minutes!!! I will be very obliged with the valuable suggestions/comments.

Thanks,
Pranjal
