Client Receive Socket(s)

Milko/All,

I would really appreciate it if someone could answer the following questions
concerning how the packets are read by the sockets at the helix client:

1) In HXThreadedSocket::HandleRead( ), which subsequently calls
ReadFrom(&pBuf, &pAddr) in the case of UDP Transport, are the packets being
read from some sort of buffer that holds the "inbound" packets? Here I'm
making reference to the m_inbound.RemoveHead(...) statement; if so, where
does this buffering of packets in this m_inbound structure take place? Are
the packets being somehow buffered in a structure as they get received from
the network interface and then read/played by the client?

2) I'm finding this a little confusing: on one hand, the UDP sockets for the
different streams involved in a media session are created with
RTSPClientProtocol::InitSockets( ) (which in turn also calls
CreateUDPSockets(..)) and on the other hand the actual reading/reception of
the packets from the network interface seems to take place in
HXThreadedSocket where the code looks relatively "low-level". Could you
please give me some hints on how these 2 different modules relate to one
another? Just a small summary would do..

Thanks a lot for your help,

Mahmoud
