[Red5] red5 ports and protocols - general theory

[Walter Tak]

Imho running RTMP (not RTMPT) on port 80 is a very viable option since it bypasses most firewall-restrictions and often
http (port 80) traffic has a higher priority than other traffic.

Just assign a 2nd IP to the server and let the primary webserver listen on the first IP on port 80 and have Red5 listen on
the 2nd ip, port 80...  

No sweat.

    post anything that is slightly related (docs/txt/links).

    if rtmp port is not blocked is it possible that some other software is
    interfering with rtmp traffic? 

  Clients could have blocked connections out. You could try to use rtmpt, but it has it's tradeoffs as I understand it.

    what can cause rtmp stream to fail (data loss or similar)?

    pros and cons for running red5 on port 80?

  The biggest issue is that you'd have to run it as root. The second is, that you'd override any other http server running on that machine (if there is any at all). And I don't know why you would do that. I suppose you want to run rtmp on port 80 ... 

  Goes against my logic at least :)



    any related subject, your observations, anything?
