<a name="DoesRed5supportmulticaststreaming"></a>
<span>
<span class="bold"><strong>Does Red5 support multicast streaming?</strong></span>
</span>
</p><p>It should be noted that multicasting support is not available in the Flash Player. For that reason, no media server can deliver a multi-casting solution to the Flash Player. In addition, many networks have multicasting turned off so it may not be realiable for other platforms either such as Windows Media Player. These solutions usually fall back to unicasting when clients cannot receive muliticasted media. In regards to Unicasting, Red5 already has this functionality. In addition, we have an edge-origin solution sometimes referred to as stream-reapeating.</p><p>----</p><p>
