"COUNT" packets sent into a stream over internet

[tucano]

Hi guys! I'm new to this forum... I'm interesting in VLC since few weeks, so now I need your experience for something I can't understand:

is VLC able to "count" or assign a progressive number or something similar to the single packets sent into a stream, so that I can "count" the packets when I receive them on the other pc (for exemple to see how many packets lost?)?

I'm reading all the documentation about it, but it's sooo much! Help me!

This info is available in the "stream and media info" dialog in the wx widgets interface. (It's also available in one of the HTTP interface's XML request files)

I had already see that dialog, but I have to realize a socket to analyze vlc flux of streaming, so I have to know how vlc count packets ( and if it counts packets ) because if it doesn't count them I have to build a program to add this function, so, I'm trying to find out which is the format of the vlc streaming frame, to know if it has a protocol which gives each packet a progressive number or something similar...

any ideas
