Hello,
I have video player ( as UDP server) on Ubuntu ( 6.10 -Edgy Eft) receiving video in UDP packets from client on the same system. Client app streams to the loopback ( 127.0.0.1); Video works fine if I introduce 1 ms delay between sending packets in client app... With no delay I see packet loss, causing large percent of decoding errors in video player. I suspected UDP buffer overflow and tried to increase buffer size, as following:
net.core.rmem_default = 524288
net.core.rmem_max = 524288
net.core.wmem_default = 524288
net.core.wmem_max = 524288
But this doesn't fix the problem.
Any idea on how to troubleshoot this issue would be greatly appreciated.

I'd use two systems on a LAN. I mean if you are trying to mimick a network *cast over UDP test system and you have all processor-intensive video generation, pack sending and receiving, processing and playing going on on one system I'm sure a 1 ms delay doesn't sound too bad?

Thank for reply, unSpawn.
Just a clarification: "server" app just "packetizer" for incoming raw video ( which is encoded on another system), e.g.
it's not numerically intensive process.
Have to investigate that bottleneck anyway...
Thanks again,
