Hey guys, I've been working on a P2P live streaming app and I'm having some trouble testing it properly.

At the moment, I'm testing it using: 1) Another laptop + an external server 2) Multiple instances running on different ports

Problem is: this is not exactly ready for production.

Is there something like a simulator OR any of you guys worked on a torrent client, p2p client, live streaming solution and had to test it?

Please let me know,

Thanks,

-hbt

Ok so from all my research I'm fairly positive P2P is not possible in Silverlight 4 (in browser).

For streaming multicast I need to create a NSC-file for the players - this file is pseudo-coded by Microsoft. Now I need to create this file for each proxy-publishingpoint. Is there any way to stream multicast without the NSC-file or can I create the NSC-file on another way? Thanks for any idea ;) >>> More
