Confusion on the P2P live broadcast,How do I consider the next step

Recently I'm really confused,i want to use FMS4+multicast in our "live Application", I found a lot of information that about p2p live broadcast,but it seems that there are not enough practical applications.

In our "live Application",we are using FMS3,and there are lots of live streams,and each streams has about 1000-6000 subscribers,and each live streaming will be released about 8 hours.

So we spend a lot of money for the purchase of bandwidth,i think, if we can use FMS4+multicast ,so we can save a lot of money,but the FMS4 which is "developer version" has 50 connections limit,and if the client use the "p2p" features,it will pop up a "Peer Assisted NetWorking" dialog...

Therefore, we can not  use a "multicast"  player that is hidden  in a web page,and so we can not implement a large-scale test on our web site.

As an employee,I am very eager to create benefits for the company,and now i have created a "multicast" player,and i have deployed the FMS4(developer version),and we have done a small-scale test in our company,the test results are satisfactory.

the question is :

1 How do I consider the next step

2 how should we do more testing or implement a large-scale test

3 If there is no way to do a large-scale test,are there any actual business case, that can Prove the availability of "fms4+multicast" , that Can be used in a "live broadcast"  which has 6000 participants

I'm really confused, hope adobe give me some help!

    Hi,

    Sorry for the delay.

    Tests for peer to peer multicast could be tricky. With the FMS enterprise server, P2P can be extensively used , but you need as many client machines/FPs to shoot the load upon the server.

    Having P2P on the internet is even more tricky, with non-technical aspects (read, legal) coming into the picture. I am not sure of any public P2P yet, but my information in this is very limited.

    Thank you !

    Add that I do not expect the "fms4+Multicast" can totally replace the "Rtmp live stream",because i think ,the p2p mesh has a certain instability,and currently, The "fms4+multicast" and "Rtmp live stream" used in combination,I use this strategy:

    1 first to use "Rtmp" to play the live stream and show it to the user,and call it "Rtmp Screen".

    2 then create a new "netConnection" and  "netStream",and  use "multicast" mode to play the live stream,and call it "Multicast Screen",this screen is not showed to the user(Of course,in "multicast" mode ,it will connect to another FMS server),when the "multicast" mode  is Stable,it will show to the user,and hide the "Rtmp Screen",and the "Rtmp Screen" will stop to play the live stream,when the "Multicast Screen" is not Stable, it will switch to the "Rtmp Screen",but the "Multicast Screen"  is still playing the live stream,so  the P2P network may be  maintained,when the "multicast" mode  is Stable,it will switch to
    "Multicast Screen" again,and Repeated this ......
