Adobe Stratus Drawbacks

Question

Am wondering if there are any drawbacks of using Adobe Stratus. Since it is only P2P, when will there be a case where P2P can't be used? On the site it says something like when UDP packets are blocked. How often is that? Say a thousand people use the service, approximately what percentage would not be able to use it?

Also, is it possible to port a Stratus app to AFCS/LCCS without any modification?

Thank you for your time.

About half on average are not able to talk directly. Depending on service provider, organization if any, country, continent, weather, extraterrestrial presence etc :-)

I have been looking at this for a client who is developing a peer to peer video conferencing app. In his experience about 10%+ of people out of a small group surveyed had UDP blocked, and therefore were unable to use Adobe Stratus to make connections and LTMFP

with a pretty global audience, i had about 20% failing the initial test with cc.rtmfp.net . then a number of those who passed couldn't make direct connections to some users, although they could with others.

i wouldn't use stratus by itself for anything where reliability matters. use fms until red5 adds support for rtmfp
