One demo was labeled 'application level multicast', a kind of overlay network made up of Flash clients. Each node can re-broadcast video and audio content, making this setup very interesting for large scale live broadcasts. Imagine 'seeding' a live stream to two or three clients with spare upload capacity and having them re-broadcast it to other clients, then to others and so on. In theory this system could scale indefinitely and without requiring any server bandwidth. And what better client to use than Flash which is virtually everywhere?</p> <p>It's in the lab right now, but RTMFP looks very interesting already. Adobe keeps on innovating in this space.</p> Adobe showed some sneak peaks of what they are working on around RTMFP.

It’s in the lab right now, but RTMFP looks very interesting already. Adobe keeps on innovating in this space.
