Multicast Cleanup Question

Hi,

We often run large events using the out-of-the-box FMS p2p multicast application.

After the events the application connection count remains high and the application never shuts down and continues to use up resources (CPU and RAM).

After a bunch of these build up, the server becomes unusable and needs to be cleared out.

At first we assumed it was completely due to the audience participants not closing their browsers and therefore remaining connected to the app.  After digging deeper we have found that even if 100% of the audience closes their browsers (even quits the browser entirely) the multicast application often ends up with a bunch of "stuck" connections that never go away and therefore keep the app running forever.

Is this a known issue?

Is there something we should know about the proper way to end a multicast event so that the application doesn't continue to run and/or use up resources?

Thank you!

Sincerely,

Greg Pulier
