    It means publishing the same stream to multiple servers. A typical multipoint application will accept an incoming stream at one server, and that server will distribute the stream to other servers. This allows FMS apps to support audiences larger than can be accomodated by a single server, and/or make the stream available at servers in different geographic regions.

    If you have specific "can I do [whatever] with FMSS or do I need FMIS", just post them here.
