Anyone have any perspective on RTMP penetration rates?
Below is a quote from the MM site. I believe it is WRONG. In fact, my
personal research (people calling me and telling my apps don't work),
suggests that somewhere in the 10-20% of all computers are behind
firewalls that block RTMP, even if it is tunneled through http. And, to
be clear, I have bent over backwards to ensure that my apps and my
server at open to connecting over any of the ports and protocols
available.
Am I alone in this finding? Am I missing something? I doubt it. I
hope I am wrong. Does Breeze also use RTMP?
Any thoughts would be great...
Thanks, Troy

FROM MACROMEDIA'S SITE:
"By default, the Macromedia Flash Player communicates with the Flash
Communication Server using RTMP protocol over port 1935. If that fails,
it will try again over ports 443 and 80 in an attempt to workaround
firewall settings within a company, which prevents TCP/IP connections
over non-standard ports. The above approach allows approximately 96% of
all users to access publicly accessible Flash Communication servers.
To support closer to 100% of the users we need the Macromedia Flash
Player to negotiate connection to the external Flash Communication
server though a proxy server (if there is one), or use HTTP protocol to
transmit RTMP packets (HTTP tunneling) if there is a firewall (which
allows only HTTP content to be sent out to public servers).
