I have simulated RTSP using the TCP Sampler. You can extract the session id from the setup response using a regex extractor post-processor.
Ed Young <e...@summitbid.com> 04/13/2009 05:58 PM Please respond to "JMeter Users List" <jmeter-user@jakarta.apache.org> To JMeter Users List <jmeter-user@jakarta.apache.org> cc Subject Does jmeter support RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol) *^ <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Time_Streaming_Protocol#cite_ref-0>* RFC 2326 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2326>, *Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP)*, IETF, 1998 That is, can I send simple requests like DESCRIBE, SETTUP, PLAY, PAUSE, etc. The RTSP protocol has similarities to HTTP< http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP>, but RTSP adds new requests. While HTTP is stateless<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stateless_server>, RTSP is a stateful protocol. A session identifier is used to keep track of sessions when needed. thus, no permanent TCP connection is needed. RTSP messages are sent from client to server, although some exceptions exist where the server will send to the client. Anyone know if there is already jmeter support? Thanks, -- - Ed
