Hi,

I would like to know what type of configuration is usually done between
a coder and a first PP to receive the coder stream. What is the most
used mode between them ? Pull or Push ?

In Push mode, if the PP suddenly stops, the coder stops with some
errors. Which is a problem for me.
In Pull mode, both are "independent". If the coder stops, the PP not. If
the PP stops, the coder not. Which I prefer.
In both mode, the player will or not be able to resume the stream playback.

I need to produce a stream with a coder, send it to a first PP and then
dispatch it to several PP.
I want the live stream to be the most available as possible. Do I need
to use several coders ?
Before starting, and after have read MS documentation, I need now some
experience return of "real" cases.
What is the state-of-art of WM streaming ?

Thanks.

Unicast or multicast PPs? Why would your server PP "suddenly stop?"

I don't know what is the most appropriate mode for distribution servers.
I wanted to know what happens when the PP stops. So I stop it.
I don't know what could happen on the server but I have to worry about
all the error cases.

Thank you.

For distribution servers you're stuck with using either RTSPU (UDP) or RTSPT
(TCP). The latter is probably best.
