Can Wowza Server API allowed to implement custom streaming transport protocol (as application level) on top of TCP or UDP protocol?

Second thing,

I would to understand that Wowza Media Server has any plan to implement RTFMP protocol ( consider as alternate solution) in near future.

Regards,

Paresh

Hi Paresh,

I’m not sure really re custom protocol, but it would be low-level work beyond Wowza support.

There are no plans to support rtfmp. Wowza can push a multicast stream over UDP using [Push Publish addon](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-push-streams-to-cdns-and-other-services-push-publishing)
