### IncomingDataQueue::IncomingRTPPktLink \* IncomingDataQueue::getWaiting (uint32 timestamp, const SyncSource \* src = `NULL`)` [protected]`

**Note**

if found, the packet is removed from the reception queue

### bool IncomingDataQueue::insertRecvPacket (IncomingRTPPktLink \* packetLink)` [protected]`

Insert a just received packet in the queue (both general and source specific queues). If the packet was already in the queue (same SSRC and sequence number), it is not inserted but deleted.

**Parameters**

*packetLink* link to a packet just received and generally validated and processed by onRTPPacketRecv.

**Returns**

whether the packet was successfully inserted.

**Return values**

*false* when the packet is duplicated (there is already a packet from the same source with the same timestamp). \

### virtual void IncomingDataQueue::onExpireRecv (IncomingRTPPkt &)` [inline]`, ` [protected]`, ` [virtual]`

A hook to filter packets in the receive queue that are being expired. This hook may be used to do some application specific processing on expired packets before they are deleted.

**Parameters**

*-* packet expired from the recv queue.

### virtual void IncomingDataQueue::onNewSyncSource (const SyncSource &)` [inline]`, ` [protected]`, ` [virtual]`

Virtual called when a new synchronization source has joined the session.

**Parameters**

*-* new synchronization source

**Examples** **rtplisten.cpp**.

### virtual bool IncomingDataQueue::onRTPPacketRecv (IncomingRTPPkt &)` [inline]`, ` [protected]`, ` [virtual]`

A virtual function to support parsing of arriving packets to determine if they should be kept in the queue and to dispatch events. A generic header validity check (as specified in RFC 1889) is performed on every incoming packet. If the generic check completes successfully, this method is called before the packet is actually inserted into the reception queue.

May be used to perform additional validity checks or to do some application specific processing.

**Parameters**

*-* packet just received.

**Returns**

true if packet is kept in the incoming packets queue.

### virtual bool IncomingDataQueue::onSRTPPacketError (IncomingRTPPkt & pkt, int32 errorCode)` [inline]`, ` [protected]`, ` [virtual]`

A hook that gets called if the decoding of an incoming SRTP was erroneous.

**Parameters**

*pkt* The SRTP packet with error. \
 *errorCode* The error code: -1 - SRTP authentication failure, -2 - replay check failed

**Returns**

True: put the packet in incoming queue for further processing by the applications; false: dismiss packet. The default implementation returns false.

### void IncomingDataQueue::purgeIncomingQueue ()` [protected]`

### void IncomingDataQueue::recordExtraction (const IncomingRTPPkt & pkt)` [protected]`

Log extraction of a packet from this source from the scheduled reception queue.

**Parameters**

*pkt* Packet extracted from the queue.

### bool IncomingDataQueue::recordReception (SyncSourceLink & srcLink, const IncomingRTPPkt & pkt, const timeval recvtime)` [protected]`

Log reception of a new RTP packet from this source. Usually updates data such as the packet counter, the expected sequence number for the next packet and the time the last packet was received at.

**Parameters**

*srcLink* Link structure for the synchronization source of this packet. \
 *pkt* Packet just created and to be logged. \
 *recvtime* Reception time.

**Returns**

whether, according to the source state and statistics, the packet is considered valid and must be inserted in the incoming packets queue.

### virtual size\_t IncomingDataQueue::recvData (unsigned char \* buffer, size\_t length, InetHostAddress & host, tpport\_t & port)` [protected]`, ` [pure virtual]`

This function performs the physical I/O for reading a packet from the source. It is a virtual that is overridden in the derived class.

**Returns**

number of bytes read.

**Parameters**

*buffer* of read packet. \
 *length* of data to read. \
 *host* address of source. \
 *port* number of source.

Implemented in **RTPDuplex**, **TRTPSessionBase\< RTPDataChannel, RTCPChannel, ServiceQueue \>**, and **TRTPSessionBase\< DualRTPUDPIPv4Channel, DualRTPUDPIPv4Channel, AVPQueue \>**.

### void IncomingDataQueue::removeInQueueCryptoContext (CryptoContext \* cc)

Remove input queue **CryptoContext**. The endQueue method (provided by RTPQueue) also deletes all registered CryptoContexts.

**Parameters**

*cc* Pointer to initialized **CryptoContext** to remove. If pointer if `NULL` then delete the whole queue

### void IncomingDataQueue::renewLocalSSRC ()` [protected]`, ` [virtual]`

Reimplemented from **RTPQueueBase**.

Reimplemented in **RTPDataQueue**.

### void IncomingDataQueue::setInQueueCryptoContext (CryptoContext \* cc)

Set input queue **CryptoContext**. The endQueue method (provided by RTPQueue) deletes all registered CryptoContexts.

**Parameters**

*cc* Pointer to initialized **CryptoContext**.

### void IncomingDataQueue::setMaxPacketDropout (uint16 packets)` [inline]`

It also prevents packets sent after a restart of the source being immediately accepted.

### void IncomingDataQueue::setMaxPacketMisorder (uint16 packets)` [inline]`

### void IncomingDataQueue::setMinValidPacketSequence (uint8 packets)` [inline]`

When receiving packets from a new source, it may be convenient to reject a first few packets before we are really sure the source is valid. This method sets how many data packets must be received in sequence before the source is considered valid and the stack starts to accept its packets.

**Note**

the default (see **defaultMinValidPacketSequence()**) value for this parameter is 0, so that no packets are rejected (data packets are accepted from the first one).

this validation is performed after the generic header validation and the additional validation done in **onRTPPacketRecv()**.

if any valid RTCP packet is received from this source, it will be immediatly considered valid regardless of the number of sequential data packets received.

**Parameters**

*packets* number of sequential packet required

### void IncomingDataQueue::setSourceExpirationPeriod (uint8 intervals)` [inline]`, ` [protected]`

Set the number of RTCP intervals that the stack will wait to change the state of a source from stateActive to stateInactive, or to delete the source after being in stateInactive. Note that this value should be uniform accross all participants and SHOULD be fixed for a particular profile.

**Parameters**

*intervals* number of RTCP report intervals

**Note**

If RTCP is not being used, the RTCP interval is assumed to be the default: 5 seconds.

The default for this value is, as RECOMMENDED, 5.

### virtual size\_t IncomingDataQueue::takeInDataPacket ()` [protected]`, ` [virtual]`

This function is used by the service thread to process the next incoming packet and place it in the receive list.

**Returns**

number of payload bytes received. \<0 if error.

Reimplemented in **SingleThreadRTPSession\< RTPDataChannel, RTCPChannel, ServiceQueue \>**.
