Detailed Description

       A class of objects representing remote participants (RTP applications) in a multimedia session.

       Any RTP socket/queue class that directly or indirectly inherits from QueueRTCPManager (and hence has RTCP
       support) will represent participants from which any RTP or RTCP packet has been received through a
       Participant object. These Participant objects are entities such as end systems (user applications,
       monitors, etc), RTP mixers and RTP translators.

       Participant objects are identified by a CNAME and provide access to all known data about the source of
       RTP/RTCP packets, such as the CNAME and any other SDES item. Each participant object is related to one or
       more synchronization objects (

       See also:
           SyncSource).

       If an RTP application based on ccRTP receives packets from itself (for instance, it is included in the
       destination list), there will be a Participant object that corresponds to the 'local participant'
       (RTPApplication) object.

Member Function Documentation

   const std::string& Participant::getPRIVPrefix () const [inline]
       Get the prefix value for the PRIV SDES item.

       Returns:
           PRIV SDES item prefix as a string.

       Return values:
           empty string when no PRIV SDES item has been received from this source.

   const std::string& Participant::getSDESItem (SDESItemType type) const [inline]
       Get the value of an SDES item. For instance, getSDESItem(SDESItemTypeCNAME), return the CNAME of this
       Participant.

       Parameters:
           type type of SDES item to get value of.

       Returns:
           value of the SDES item as a string.

       Return values:
           empty string when the value is not known (no RTCP packet with the requested SDES item has been
           received from this source).

       Examples:
           ccrtptest.cpp, and rtplisten.cpp.
