I’ve updated the post to hopefully reflect that better.

Jim: No, you are correct, that a connection to the service is needed. I’m simply saying that the need for us, as developers, to have our own server is not necessary.

From: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/stratus/
“In order to use RTMFP, Flash Player endpoints must connect to an RTMFP-capable server, such as the Adobe Stratus service…”

Further, that connection to the (e.g., Stratus) server must be maintained for the entire session or the P2P (or client-to-client) connection will be lost.

Are you indicating otherwise?

Thanks,
Jim
