Server on Amazon Web Services limits the number of RTMFP introductions.

Enterprise Server each AMI uses, see www.adobe.com/go/learn_fms_aws_en.
RTMFP connection limits
Adobe Media Server on Amazon Web Services limits the number of simultaneous RTMFP connections based on the
size of the AMI instance. The following table lists the number of simultaneous RTMFP connections allowed for each
AMI instance type:

Important: Adobe Media Server on Amazon Web Services supports peer-assisted, application-level multicast. It does not
support IP multicast or multicast fusion. In peer-assisted multicast, Flash Player and AIR clients send data to each other
in a mesh. In IP multicast, the server sends data to a router at a specified IP address. The router sends the data to Flash
Player and AIR clients. Multicast fusion uses both technologies together.
Supported server-side features
Adobe Media Server on Amazon Web Services is Flash Media Enterprise Server. It supports all the features that Flash
Media Enterprise Server supports, including Server-Side ActionScript, server-side recording, custom C++ plug-ins,
and customized configuration files.
You can use HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) to serve live streams to clients over HTTP.
Supported file formats
Adobe Media Server on Amazon Web Services supports the same file formats that Adobe Media Server supports.
For a complete list, see the Adobe Media Server 5.0.1 Technical Overview Guide.
