Today I’ve found FilesOverMiles: a website that allows the exchange of files between two users with a P2P connection using Flash.
This is possible thanks to the new Flash 10 P2P capability.
However, this P2P feature needs an initial handshake between the clients to start the connection, and it is done through a “rendezvous service”.
Since I didn’t know that Adobe publicly released a rendezvous service or specification, have the folks at FilesOverMiles reverse engineered the protocol?
