What is Red5?
From Red5Wiki
Red5 is an opensource (licenced under the GNU LGPL) Flash media server. It supports the RTMP protocol for communicating to Flash clients, which allows them to dynamically interact with the server to stream audio/video, and also allows for other functionality such as communication with other Flash clients, custom remote procedure calls, etc.
Red5 is an Java application server (J2EE server).
Red5 is capable of:
- Supporting the RTMP protocol
- Supporting the RTMPS protocol
- Shared objects
- Streaming audio/video
- Remoting
- Acting as a BlazeDS alternative
It can do all things FMS (Flash Media Server) does, except for server-side ActionScript support (support for this, however, is planned for the future).
