tcpclientsrc

Example launch line (server):

 nc -l -p 3000

Example launch line (client):

 gst-launch-1.0 tcpclientsrc port=3000 ! fdsink fd=2

everything you type in the server is shown on the client. If you want to detect network failures and/or limit the time your tcp client keeps waiting for data from server setting a timeout value can be useful.
