Bug ID: 796916
Summary: Add API to allow/disallow specific multicast
diestinations
Classification: Platform
Product: GStreamer
Version: git master
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: gst-rtsp-server
Assignee: gstreamer-***@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: ***@axis.com
QA Contact: gstreamer-***@lists.freedesktop.org
GNOME version: ---

The current implementation relies on the address pool:
the server checks if the suggested destination/port is present in the pool and
reserves the address (doing that, no other clients are allowed to request the
same multicast group, which is not correct, see the discussion in
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=793441).

Probably, the pre-configured address pool should be only involved in choosing
the server-selected address/port pairs. Thus we would need an additional
security step for checking if the the destination suggested by the client is
allowed.
