[SR-Users] Proxying BFCP

[Daniel-Constantin Mierla]

Hello,

probably it won't work with TCP transport, but for UDP it could. You can
increase the debug level for rtpengine and it should print more logs
about what it does. Then rtpengine ctl tool prints the statistics and,
at least for RTP is shows dropped packets (iirc).

Cheers,
Daniel
