Thank you for the advice. Alas tcp_ecn was already set to 0.
I used the same client,Reaplayer8 on FreeBSD as I use now on Debian.
On FreeBSD I just used the default settings. Same on Debian.
If I open preferrences in Realplayer there is a tab called transport
where I can specify settings for RTSP and PNA protocols. I can also specify
UDP port. I don't know anything about this... Could this be the problem?
