[ubuntu] Using SOCAT to convert TCP to UDP

Hey Everyone,

I'm currently ruing OPENWRT Chaos Calmer on a Linksys WRT1900AC. My network topography is as follows: Ubuntu 14.04 RTMP streaming server => WRT1900AC => client device receiving the streaming video

I have a NGINX RTMP streaming server outputting audio/video to a client device within the same LAN. My goal is to convert the RTMP TCP stream to an RTMP UDP stream at the router using SOCAT. So far I have not been able to get the packets to convert to UDP. Using Wireshark, I still see TCP packet being received on the client device and at a different port than I specified. The method I'm using is below.

SSH into OPENWRT/WRT1900AC
Issue the following:

socat TCP4-LISTEN:1935,fork UDP4:123.456.7.8:1935

IP: 123.456.7.8 is the client device IP. The client device coects to the video stream server with rtmp://987.654.3.2:1935. Port 1935 is set aside specifically for RTMP streaming.

Am I implementing socat wrong? Maybe I should be ruing socat at the server level?

Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide.
