Libavtp source code can * be found in https://github.com/AVnu/libavtp as well as instructions to build * and install it. * * If libavtp isn't detected by configure, the plugin isn't built. * * ### The application/x-avtp mime type * * For valid AVTPDUs encapsulated in GstBuffers, we use the caps with mime type * application/x-avtp. * * AVTP mime type is pretty simple and has no fields. * * ### gPTP Setup * * The Linuxptp project provides the ptp4l daemon, which synchronizes the PTP * clock from NIC, and the pmc tool which communicates with ptp4l to get/set * some runtime settings. The project also provides the phc2sys daemon which * synchronizes the PTP clock and system clock. * * The AVTP plugin requires system clock is synchronized with PTP clock and * TAI offset is properly set in the kernel. ptp4l and phc2sys can be set up * in many different ways, below we provide an example that fullfils the plugin * requirements. For further information check ptp4l(8) and phc2sys(8). * * In the following instructions, replace $IFNAME by your PTP capable NIC * interface. The gPTP.cfg file mentioned below can be found in /usr/share/ * doc/linuxptp/ (depending on your distro). * * Synchronize PTP clock with PTP time: * * $ ptp4l -f gPTP.cfg -i $IFNAME * * Enable TAI offset to be automatically set by phc2sys: * * $ pmc -u -t 1 -b 0 'SET GRANDMASTER_SETTINGS_NP \ * clockClass 248 clockAccuracy 0xfe \ * offsetScaledLogVariance 0xffff \ * currentUtcOffset 37 leap61 0 leap59 0 \ * currentUtcOffsetValid 1 ptpTimescale 1 \ * timeTraceable 1 frequencyTraceable 0 timeSource 0xa0' * * Synchronize system clock with PTP clock: * * $ phc2sys -f gPTP.cfg -s $IFNAME -c CLOCK_REALTIME -w * * The commands above should be run on both AVTP Talker and Listener hosts. * * With clocks properly synchronized, applications using the AVTP plugin * should use GstSytemClock with GST_CLOCK_TYPE_REALTIME as the pipeline * clock. * * ### Clock Reference Format (CRF) * * Even though the systems are synchronized by PTP, it is possible that * different talkers can send media streams which are out of phase or the * frequencies do not exactly match. This is partcularly important when there * is a single listener processing data from multiple talkers. The systems in * this scenario can benefit if a common clock is distributed among the * systems. * * This can be achieved by using the avtpcrfsync element which implements CRF * as described in Chapter 10 of IEEE 1722-2016. avtpcrfcheck can also be used * to validate that the adjustment conforms to the criteria specified in the * spec. For further details, look at the documentation for the respective * elements. * * ### Traffic Control Setup * * FQTSS (Forwarding and Queuing Enhancements for Time-Sensitive Streams) can be * enabled on Linux with the help of the mqprio and cbs qdiscs provided by the * Linux Traffic Control. Below we provide an example to configure those qdiscs * in order to transmit a CVF H.264 stream 1280x720@30fps. For further * information on how to configure these qdiscs check tc-mqprio(8) and * tc-cbs(8) man pages. * * On the host that will run as AVTP Talker (pipeline that generates the video * stream), run the following commands: * * Configure mpqrio qdisc (replace $MQPRIO_HANDLE_ID by an unused handle ID): * * $ tc qdisc add dev $IFNAME parent root handle $MQPRIO_HANDLE_ID mqprio \ * num_tc 3 map 2 2 1 0 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 \ * queues 1@0 1@1 2@2 hw 0 * * Configure cbs qdisc (replace $CBS_HANDLE_ID by an unused handle ID): * * $ tc qdisc replace dev $IFNAME parent $MQPRIO_HANDLE_ID:1 \ * handle $CBS_HANDLE_ID cbs idleslope 27756 sendslope -972244 \ * hicredit 42 locredit -1499 offload 1 * * Also, the plugin implements a transmission scheduling mechanism that relies * on ETF qdisc so make sure it is properly configured in your system. It could * be configured in many ways, below follows an example. * * $ tc qdisc add dev $IFNAME parent $CBS_HANDLE_ID:1 etf \ * clockid CLOCK_TAI delta 500000 offload * * No Traffic Control configuration is required at the host running as AVTP * Listener. * * ### Capabilities * * The `avtpsink` and `avtpsrc` elements open `AF_PACKET` sockets, which require * `CAP_NET_RAW` capability. Therefore, applications must have that capability * in order to successfully use this element. For instance, one can use: * * $ sudo setcap cap_net_raw+ep * * Applications can drop this capability after the sockets are open, after * `avtpsrc` or `avtpsink` elements transition to PAUSED state. See setcap(8) * man page for more information. * * ### Elements configuration * * Each element has its own configuration properties, with some being common * to several elements. Basic properties are: * * * streamid (avtpaafpay, avtpcvfpay, avtpaafdepay, avtpcvfdepay, * avtpcrfsync, avtpcrfcheck): Stream ID associated with the stream. * * * ifname (avtpsink, avtpsrc, avtpcrfsync, avtpcrfcheck): Network interface * used to send/receive AVTP packets. * * * dst-macaddr (avtpsink, avtpsrc): Destination MAC address for the stream. * * * priority (avtpsink): Priority used by the plugin to transmit AVTP * traffic. * * * mtt (avtpaafpay, avtpcvfpay): Maximum Transit Time, in nanoseconds, as * defined in AVTP spec. * * * tu (avtpaafpay, avtpcvfpay): Maximum Time Uncertainty, in nanoseconds, as * defined in AVTP spec. * * * processing-deadline (avtpaafpay, avtpcvfpay, avtpsink): Maximum amount of * time, in nanoseconds, that the pipeline is expected to process any * buffer. This value should be in sync between the one used on the * payloader and the sink, as this time is also taken into consideration to * define the correct presentation time of the packets on the AVTP listener * side. It should be as low as possible (zero if possible). * * * tstamp-mode (avtpaafpay): AAF timestamping mode, as defined in AVTP spec. * * * mtu (avtpcvfpay): Maximum Transmit Unit of the underlying network, used * to determine when to fragment a CVF packet and how big it should be. * * Check each element documentation for more details. * * * ### Running a sample pipeline * * The following pipelines assume a hypothetical `-k ptp` flag that forces the * pipeline clock to be GstPtpClock. A real application would programmatically * define GstPtpClock as the pipeline clock (see next section). It is also * assumed that `gst-launch-1.0` has CAP_NET_RAW capability. * * On the AVTP talker, the following pipeline can be used to generate an H.264 * stream to be sent via network using AVTP: * * $ gst-launch-1.0 -k ptp videotestsrc is-live=true ! clockoverlay ! \ * x264enc ! avtpcvfpay processing-deadline=20000000 ! \ * avtpcrfsync ifname=$IFNAME ! avtpsink ifname=$IFNAME * * On the AVTP listener host, the following pipeline can be used to get the * AVTP stream, depacketize it and show it on the screen: * * $ gst-launch-1.0 -k ptp avtpsrc ifname=$IFNAME ! \ * avtpcrfcheck ifname=$IFNAME ! avtpcvfdepay ! \ * vaapih264dec ! videoconvert ! clockoverlay halignment=right ! \ * queue ! autovideosink * * ### Pipeline clock * * The AVTP plugin elements require that the pipeline clock is in sync with * the network PTP clock. As GStreamer has a GstPtpClock, using it should be * the simplest way of achieving that. * * However, as there's no way of forcing a clock to a pipeline using * gst-launch-1.0 application, even for quick tests, it's necessary to have * an application. One can refer to GStreamer "hello world" application, * remembering to set the pipeline clock to GstPtpClock before putting the * pipeline on "PLAYING" state. Some code like: * * GstClock *clk = gst_ptp_clock_new("ptp-clock", 0); * gst_clock_wait_for_sync(clk, GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE); * gst_pipeline_use_clock (GST_PIPELINE (pipeline), clk); * * Would do the trick. * * ### Disclaimer * * It's out of scope for the AVTP plugin to verify how it is invoked, should * a malicious software do it for Denial of Service attempts, or other * compromises attempts. * */ #ifdef HAVE_CONFIG_H #include #endif #include #include "gstavtpaafdepay.h" #include "gstavtpaafpay.h" #include "gstavtpcvfdepay.h" #include "gstavtpcvfpay.h" #include "gstavtpsink.h" #include "gstavtpsrc.h" #include "gstavtpcrfsync.h" #include "gstavtpcrfcheck.h" static gboolean plugin_init (GstPlugin * plugin) { if (!gst_avtp_aaf_pay_plugin_init (plugin)) return FALSE; if (!gst_avtp_aaf_depay_plugin_init (plugin)) return FALSE; if (!gst_avtp_sink_plugin_init (plugin)) return FALSE; if (!gst_avtp_src_plugin_init (plugin)) return FALSE; if (!gst_avtp_cvf_pay_plugin_init (plugin)) return FALSE; if (!gst_avtp_cvf_depay_plugin_init (plugin)) return FALSE; if (!gst_avtp_crf_sync_plugin_init (plugin)) return FALSE; if (!gst_avtp_crf_check_plugin_init (plugin)) return FALSE; return TRUE; } GST_PLUGIN_DEFINE (GST_VERSION_MAJOR, GST_VERSION_MINOR, avtp, "Audio/Video Transport Protocol (AVTP) plugin", plugin_init, VERSION, GST_LICENSE, GST_PACKAGE_NAME, GST_PACKAGE_ORIGIN);
