Briefing:Today I was evaluating the difference between Wowza , Flash Media server and Red5. So decided to write this comparison matrix . This comparison versus all of these three flash servers contain the main features that are uncommon with each other . I have not mentioned the features that are common to all of them . I have tried my best to put correct info but still if you find some thing missing or incorrect then just feel free to send me message using this form . I will keep on adding new points ...
