So,

- Is it possible to use OpenSSL on top of RTSP, or UDP? as there has been contradictory answers.
- If it is possible, what you have to modify from the Openssl C code?
- The specifications what they pretend to mean, that it is possible if the transport protocol is reliable.
If you'd read the SSL or TLS specs, you would have seen these:

The SSL spec says in section 3:

"At the lowest level, layered on top of some reliable transport protocol
(e.g., TCP), is the SSL Record Protocol".

The TLS spec says in section 1:

"At the lowest level, layered on top of some reliable
transport protocol (e.g., TCP[TCP]), is the TLS Record Protocol

Thanks again

But there are times when it is quite appropriate to build a guaranteed
delivery protocol on top of UDP.  RPC systems are a good example.  In
particular, if you have a heavily-loaded server and can avoid IP
fragmentation, UDP is the way to go.
