Local Data address Does not belong to any of this hosts local interfaces

byte[] ip = new byte[4];
        ip[0] = (byte) 192;
        ip[1] = (byte) 168;
        ip[2] = (byte) 1;
        ip[3] = (byte) 8;
SessionAddress localSessionAddr = new SessionAddress(
                InetAddress.getByAddress(ip), LOCAL_RTP_PORT);

Throws: Local Data Address Does not belong to any of this hosts local interfaces

Solution and Cause

The problem is JMF seems to use InetAddress.getAllByName() which gives (in most cases) only single IP address as it may not be in the /etc/hosts. It can be sorted out by setting your interface ip (say eth0, wlan0) in /etc/hosts [1].
