Live Streaming For Downlink

Hello:

I have a 2-way video client using FMS3(hosted) in between. I want to know that if I optimize what I can uplink from user A, then will FMS3 automatically buffer the stream if user B's downlink can't handle a faster uplink speed from user A? Likewise, if user A's uplink speed is less than user B's downlink speed, does FMS3 do anything to keep user B's video from being very choppy and where user might see frozen frames due to frames not being sent fast enough?

If FMS3 doesn't handle this out of the box, then is this a server side script that needs to be written to handle this?

Thanks,

Dan

    Alternatively, do I need to simply retrieve user B's downlink speed (which I already have using scripting) and ensure that it is >= my uplink speed, else upload my video at a compression level/speed that is <= user B's downlink speed?
