The Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) was designed for high-performance transmission of audio, video, and data between Adobe Flash Platform technologies, including Adobe Flash Player and Adobe AIR. RTMP is now available as an open specification to create products and technology that enable delivery of video, audio, and data in the open AMF, SWF, FLV, and F4V formats compatible with Adobe Flash Player.

Mihai Corlan:

“We announced earlier this year that we’d open up the specifications for Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP is the protocol used by Flash Media Server and LiveCycle Data Services). We did it today, and you can read the details here.

Basically you can download the specifications and start implementing your own servers that make use of this highly efficient protocol for sending data between Adobe Flash Player or Adobe AIR apps and various servers.

It is worth noting that we didn’t open up anything related to RTMPe – Adobe’s implementation to secure the content. While you as a developer don’t have access to our implementation, you are free to implement your own secure implementation on top of RTMP.”
