Building a P2P Chat Application with Adobe Stratus

Posted on by

Adobe Stratus is a hosted beta service that uses new RTMFP functionality in Flash Player 10 to connect directly instead of having to round trip between the server and the instance of the player. I chatted with Laurel Reitman and Jozsef Vass about the benefits of RTMFP and Stratus. At the end I demo how to create a very simple chat program using Stratus.

    Hi Ryan,

    I tried to play around with stratus for file sharing. I am using two online examples and they are working but I see that the speed is very very low, at about 50kB/s. Do you have any clue about the max speed??

    Hmmm, I’m not sure, but I don’t know that it would work very well for file sharing. I’ll try and find out for you.
