Hi all,

I would like to simulate packet loss of RTP packets on the network, and I would like to use Live555 to do this. In fact, there already is some code in MultiFramedRTPSink (in the MultiFramedRTPSink::sendPacketIfNecessary() function) which is contained in a "TEST_LOSS" macro, and is hardcoded to simulate 10% loss:

#ifdef TEST_LOSS
    if ((our_random()%10) != 0) // simulate 10% packet loss #####
#endif

I would like to do some more sophisticated testing (e.g. change the packet loss to 5% or 25%). What is the "right" way to do this? Ideally I would subclass MultiFramedRTPSink and then override the sendPacketIfNecessary() function. But sendPacketIfNecessary() is declared as "private" and so I cannot override.

How best to simulate the packet loss without modifying the Live555 code directly?
