Question

Multiple Netstreams (live feeds) best practices

Can anyone tell me whether it is better to have multiple live subscribing streams over one NetConnection or a seperate connection for each stream?

Is there any documentation anywhere for best practices? Thanks.

    This is a good question and it probably depends on the # of streams you had in mind. My first inclination is to have a netconnection for each stream, which would be for future scalability purposes (ie multiple servers could then be used to serve the streams.)

    I'm working on a chat app that shows up to 10 live cams at a time in one swf. When a user joins the room the publish through a separate connection, but all of the subscribes are through one connection - I thought it would help to minimize connections to the server to stream through one connection.

    Is it recommended to separate these out into individual connections?

    Well, if all the streams are on the same server, I suppose it wouldn't make a lot of sense to have 10 netconnections to the same server, so it would be preferrable to stream them all over the same one.
