Hi, all!As Martin pointed out, NTP_EPOCH_OFFSET (in CVS) is probably off by one hour. This is probably not a problem until someone uses ccRTP on one end and some other library/application on the other end and cares about the RTP/NTP timestamp correspondence.
As Martin mentions, Boost agrees with him; the output of this test program excerpt follows:
@@ const uint32 NTP_EPOCH_OFFSET = static_cast<uint32>(2208992400ul); using namespace boost::posix_time; using namespace boost::gregorian;time_period ntp_epoch_offset( ptime( date(1900, Jan, 1), seconds(0) ), ptime( date(1970, Jan, 1), seconds(0) ) ); BOOST_CHECK_EQUAL( boost::uint32_t( ntp_epoch_offset.length().total_seconds() ), NTP_EPOCH_OFFSET );
@@ +++test_rtp_session.cpp(61): error in "rtp_ntp": check boost::uint32_t( ntp_epoch_offset.length().total_seconds() ) == NTP_EPOCH_OFFSET failed [2208988800 != 2208992400]
+++Other RTP libraries agree too (from http://www.openmash.org/lxr/source/rtp/ntp-time.h):

Hi everybody on the list,I think the NTP_EPOCH_OFFSET in private.h has 3600 seconds too much. 3600 s == 1 hour, so it looks like a timezone problem, but it isn't.I verified it in two ways: 1)from the leap seconds file from http://www.cis.udel.edu/~mills/leap.html 2272060800 10 # 1 Jan 1972says Jan, 1st 1972 had 2272060800 seconds passed since 1.1.1900 00:00:00h 1972 was a leap year, so 1970 and 1971 both had 365 days and therefore 2* 365 * 24 *3600 seconds = 6307200 seconds 2208992400 + 6307200 = 2272064400 that is 3600 s (==1 hour) more than in the leap seconds file. 2) boost_date_time: long h = now.tv_sec / 3600; long s = now.tv_sec % 3600; long m = s / 60; s = s % 60; unsigned us = now.tv_usec;boost::posix_time::time_duration td(hours(h) + minutes(m) + seconds(s) + microsec(us)); boost::posix_time::ptime boost_time; boost_time = ptime(boost::gregorian::date(1970, Jan, 1), td);cerr << "Boost Time: " << boost_time << endl;=> shows exactly the result I would expect from the NTP offset in the leap seconds file.best regards Martin------------------------------------------------------------------------_______________________________________________ Ccrtp-devel mailing list address@hidden http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/ccrtp-devel
