Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] rtcp information capture

I do not think that's his problem:
He's not capturing RTP (Real Time Proto), it's capturing RTCP (RT
Control P) so he's not getting the media, he's getting only control
information for the media.

If what he wants is the media (to find out Timestamps, jitter and the
such) he'll have to capture RTP as well as RTCP. RTCP is supposed to
be sent one port bellow RTCP.

So for getting the media he'll want:
tshark -f "udp port 12000 or udp port 12001" -d "udp.port==12000,rtp"
-d "udp.port==12001,rtcp"

Then he can use the RTP analysis tab to analyze jitter and the such,
on RTP not on RTCP.
