  • Thanks for your comment. I want to make a small video chat application. I am debating which to use. I dont know which is the most suitable. Do they both have have the same features? – Mark Noble Mar 07 '13 at 05:55
  • no, not at all. fms is media server, while cirrus is a peer to peer udp technology allowing direct connection between client flash player apps (first you have to connect a `NetConnection` to cirrus host which gives you your connection id, then you have to pass such id of another client app to a `NetStream` that uses a `NetConnection` connected to cirrus host in the first app to establish connection between them); however you have to use some other server technology for exchanging cirrus connection ids between clients – www0z0k Mar 07 '13 at 15:51

Unlike Adobe Media Server,Cirrus does not support media relay, shared objects, scripting, etc. So by using Cirrus, you can only develop applications where Flash Player endpoints are directly communicating with each other.
