The most simple P2P Object Replication Example

September 16th, 2010

Here you can download the simplest P2P Object Replication example, which is easy to understand. Previous examples might have been too complicated to start with. Grab this code and start using it right the way.

Download source
Try demo - open in two or more windows. Click “startProviding” button on one of them and “startReceiving” on the rest of the windows. You can then click “writeObject” to check the received object on the receiver windows.

Good Luck!

Video-on-Demand over P2P in Flash Player 10.1 with Object Replication

July 28th, 2010

In the previous tutorial File Sharing over P2P in Flash Player 10.1 with Object Replication we went through the Object Replication basics. And you can see that the Receiver is requesting packets one by one. That’s not suitable for the real world app, but it’s good for testing on a LAN to see the progress. In the real world app, you can immediately request all packets using NetGroup.addWantObjects(beginIndex, endIndex);.

Object Replication

Object Replication is the most lowest-level P2P access available in Flash Player 10.1 (followed by Multicast, Posting and Directed Routing). It basically enables you to send chunks of data between peers. Object Replication is the only P2P access method that guarantees that all data will be transferred to all receiving peers.

Demo

I’ve built this simple file sharing application, which basically loads a file and then you start sharing it. Open another client to start receiving the file.
