## Detailed Description

Interprets new packets, buffers them if needed.

This object primarily attempts to process the RTP packet. The main purpose is to buffer received packets if it is not clear where they fit. It also drops packets if they become old.

This object basically works as follows. The object buffers out-of-order packets, i.e., those with a sequence number higher than expected. Then, the object tries to push these packets when their sequence number comes. Packets are pushed to the frames_handler, using the "push" member function.

The buffer has limited size, when it becomes full, the oldest packet is pushed; this basically means that all missing packets are considered lost.

When a new packet is pushed, the object looks if it has the next packet in its buffer, if so, then it pushes one more packet. It does not attempt to push more than one packet from its buffer, because this might delay picking up the next packet from the operating system network stack.

Packets in the buffer are arranged according to their sequence number.

## Member Function Documentation

## consume_packet()

void ojph::stex::packets_handler::consume_packet | ( |  | ) |

private

This function sends the packet in in_use (oldest) to frames handler object.

## exchange()

rtp_packet * ojph::stex::packets_handler::exchange | ( | rtp_packet * | p | ) |

Call this function to get a packet from the packet chain.

This function is an input-output function. First time call to this function passes a null pointer, and gets a pointer to use. Subsequent calls passes the pointer that was obtained earlier to get a new pointer. This function supplies one pointer only.

Parameters

  p | a pointer to a packet that was previously obtained by calling this function.

Returns
  returns a pointer to a packet

## get_num_lost_packets()

ui32 ojph::stex::packets_handler::get_num_lost_packets | ( |  | ) | const

inline

This function provides information about the observed number of lost packets.

Returns
  returns number of lost packets up to the time of the call

## init()

void ojph::stex::packets_handler::init | ( | bool | quiet,
|  | ui32 | num_packets,
|  | frames_handler * | frames )

call this to initialize packets_handler

This function creates a chain of packets that is for packet re-ordering

Parameters

  quiet | no messages are printed when true – as of this writing the object prints no messages
  num_packets | the number of packets in the chain
  frames | a pointer to the frames_handler object that will be receive the packets
