# rtprtxqueue

rtprtxqueue maintains a queue of transmitted RTP packets, up to a configurable limit (see max-size-time, max-size-packets), and retransmits them upon request from the downstream rtpsession (GstRTPRetransmissionRequest event).

This element is similar to rtprtxsend, but it has differences:

- Retransmission from rtprtxqueue is not RFC 4588 compliant. The retransmitted packets have the same ssrc and payload type as the original stream.
- As a side-effect of the above, rtprtxqueue does not require the use of rtprtxreceive on the receiving end. rtpjitterbuffer alone is able to reconstruct the stream.
- Retransmission from rtprtxqueue happens as soon as the next regular flow packet is chained, while rtprtxsend retransmits as soon as the retransmission event is received, using a helper thread.
- rtprtxqueue can be used with rtpbin without the need of hooking to its request-aux-sender signal, which means it can be used with rtpbin using gst-launch.
