v17 v18 74 74 In this section we describe the parameters of the mcpo-vlc plugin and some usage scenarios which demonstrate the strength of the mcpo approach. 75 75 76 Vlc-mcpouses a spontaneous virtual network (SpoVNet) for distributing the video content. Each SpoVNet have to consist of 0-1 senders and 0-N receivers. The connection procedure does not depend on the role (sender/receiver) one instance has. This can confuse a little in the beginning, as on most streaming protocols the role defines whether one instance is client or server.76 Mcpo-vlc uses a spontaneous virtual network (SpoVNet) for distributing the video content.

This instance can be either server or client but must be accessible from (at least) the second instance. On the first instance we have to set the source-port. (Destination-address and -port can be set but as long as there is no other instance listening there, setting this parameters has no effect.)89 At first we need an initial SpoVNet, consisting of a single mcpo-vlc instance.

It can also set the source-port to act as an entry point later.
