As mentioned in the Preface, the Flash Communication Server uses a proprietary protocol, RTMP. This protocol is used to transfer data and messages between Flash Player 6 and the Communication Server. This protocol does not interact with the web server protocol, HTTP. Most web servers run (by default) on ports 80, 81, or 8080. Microsoft web server ports are set up in the IIS Manager, where the IP Address is set. Knowing what port your web server is communicating on will ensure that you do not set the Communication Server to use the same ports. The Communication Server uses two ports in its operation:
Note Both of these ports have been assigned to the Flash Communication Server by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). For more information on this group , visit http://www.iana.org. |
