iPad RTMFP multicast connection issue?

[Veselekov]

So when I connect to an RTMFP group multicast stream between an iPad and a PC the multicast streams do not send data.

However when I introduce an iPhone to the mix it works perfectly fine. Then when I remove the iPhone the streams between them stop broadcasting. I don't believe they close(). I think the data just stops transmitting.

Its almost as if my phone is acting like a bridge between the devices?

Does anyone know what is causing this? Bug? Network environment?

are you using a cirrus peer-to-peer connection?

Yes i am using RTMFP + a NetGroup

then your ipad may be connecting via your phone.  why your ipad doesn't connect via your computer, i don't know.

No problems. Might be an irregular issue. Or perhaps a firewall issue.
