Flash's peer-to-peer network capabilities (via RTMFP) allow almost all video and audio streams to travel directly between user computers, without using server bandwidth.
RTMFP will reduce the bandwidth costs for direct, live, real‐time communication solutions, such as audio and video chat and multi‐player games.
•
RTMFP's underlying protocols are the result of Adobe's acquisition of Amicima in 2006; strong architectural similarities exist between RTMFP and Amicima's GPL-licensed Secure Media Flow Protocol (MFP).

The Secure Real-Time Media Flow Protocol (RTMFP) is a proprietary protocol suite developed by Adobe Systems for encrypted, efficient multimedia delivery through both client-server and peer-to-peer models over the Internet.
