I am running application instance that implements publisher/subscriber on video streams. Application code is very thin and can be removed completetly if required. In a specific time, randomly, disconnect messages stopped happening which causes the folowing:

1. Streaming service shows decrease of bw per second

2. Users count is increasing linearly.

3. No disconnect messages apears on access.0x.log

This happens on AWS instance with FMS 4.0.2 : AMI:

fms-4.0.3.8001-centos-5.5-ami-2 (ami-2f945346) with xlarge configuration.

I understand that in the above link this problem was not solved. Any updates on this ?

Thanks,

Gadi

    well this is called a ghost connection and I have two soultions for it I have a custom server side script that contontinously calls to a client side script kinda works like a ping saying " are you there"? client says "yes i am" ......if the client stops saying "yes i am" then after a count of  5 the server hard disconnects the client......the other thing you can do is use a javascript on the html page that says just before window close call to the flash client and tell it to disconnect its connection to the server something like nc.close();

    The problem is that its not user specific issue.

    Upon a specific time all users stop sending disconnects and there is no more disconnect entries in access log. The TCP disconnection does happen, and calling netstats shows much less connections than in Adobe's monitor.
