            Bug ID: 796916
           Summary: Add API to allow/disallow specific multicast
                    diestinations
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: git master
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-rtsp-server
          Assignee: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: patricia at axis.com
        QA Contact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
     GNOME version: ---

The current implementation relies on the address pool:
the server checks if the suggested destination/port is present in the pool and
reserves the address (doing that, no other clients are allowed to request the
same multicast group, which is not correct, see the discussion in
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=793441).

Probably, the pre-configured address pool should be only involved in choosing
the server-selected address/port pairs. Thus we would need an additional
security step for checking if the the destination suggested by the client is
allowed.
