- This part contains a description of the protocol implemented by Aravis for the
control of the gigabit ethenet cameras. This protocol is a standard used by many video cameras manufacturers
for their products. It is a closed standard which should not be confused by what is used on 'IP cameras'. In
the case of 'IP cameras' the video stream is a compressed stream (jpeg, h264...) send over HTTP or RTSP,
whereas in Aravis, the video stream is a raw stream, mainly targeted to industrial applications.

- The protocol implemented by Aravis library is based on UDP packets transmited over an
ethernet link. Two different types of packets are used: GVCP packets and GVSP packets. GVCP packets are used
for the control of the devices, and GVSP for the transmission of the data stream. </para>

+ This documentation is the result of a reverse engineering, which means it is far from
complete. A more complete description of the ethernet protocol can be found in the GVSP and GVCP dissectors
found in Wireshark sources.
