Re: [flexcoders] How does RTMP work?
Our development team was using RTMP. Our corporate network is seriously locked down for external applications. It is my understanding that in order to use the RTMP tunneling you have to be using LCDS not FDS2. We did some light testing (1 day) of that configuration and couldn't get it to work through the firewall either. It was our experience that the rollover functionality was not working. [could have been our configuration]. Our timeline was tight enough that we couldn't spend more time on that nor could we get a hole punched through the firewall in time for the deployment. We fell back on amf-polling.

I understand that Adobe's RTMP implementation uses http tunneling - does this mean that the firewall doesn't in fact have to have port 2048 open? That the rtmp requests in fact come over on port 80 in the http headers? Just trying to understand - any explanation appreciated.

Re: [flexcoders] How does RTMP work?
Your best bet to keep it trivial would be configure server with multiple addresses and put multiple instances of the server on different IP - one for HTTP/AMF on 80, the second with RTMP on 80. If you must keep remoting(AMF) and messaging(RTMP) on the same server, the best solution is to run AMF on the top of the RTMP -requires some custom components - you are getting better manageability and QoS, not to mention client RPC and other layers you can build in the communication stack for your application. That is usually reasonably small project and provides extremely robust solution. Crude public description of the approach is here http://flexblog.faratasystems.com/?p=215 and here is http://flexblog.faratasystems.com/?p=232 description why you might want it.

RE: [flexcoders] How does RTMP work?
Thanks Anatole. I'll have a look over the info you've provided. It would seem that if I stipulate rtmpt with the default port being 80, I should be OK. My performance requirements are light for this particular project.

RE: [flexcoders] How does RTMP work?
Thanks Roxanne, Extremely helpful. It would seem that using RTMPT and port 80 would handle what I need to do.
