commit 750a8faf9db4e19c45fb2a9962789114279ea322 Author: David Fifield david@bamsoftware.com Date: Fri Jun 17 01:20:30 2011 -0700

Use our own RTMFP server instead of Adobe's.

The free Cumulus server works as a replacement for the Adobe RTMFP rendezvous server at rtmfp://p2p.rtmfp.net. By running this on the facilitator we cut out Adobe and reduce the number of trusted parties by one. The facilitator gains some information it didn't have before: though RTMFP data goes directly between endpoints, the RTMFP server seems to get periodic heartbeat messages while the connection is ongoing. --- README | 6 +++--- swfcat.as | 2 +- 2 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-)
