Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) is a technique used in computer networking to find ways for two computers to talk to each other as directly as possible in peer-to-peer networking.

The client's local operating system sends the message from the client ...
RTMFP flows data between the end‐user clients and not the server, bandwidth is not being used at the server. RTMFP uses the User Datagram Protocol, (UDP) to send video and audio data over the Internet, so needs to handle missing, dropped, or out of order packets. RTMFP has two features that may help to mitigate the effects of connection errors.
Multiplayer video games or online video games may run as a client on each computer.
