MMS

The active sessions feature displays MMS streams that have a client associated with them. MMS streams that do not have a client associated with them (multicast, content management requests, and so on) are not displayed. MMS streams are displayed as follows:

MMS UDP streams have two connections, one for data and one for control.

MMS TCP streams have a single connection.

MMS HTTP streams have a single connection.

For additional information about streaming connections, see “About MMS Streaming Connections” on page 81.

Understanding the Tree View

When collapsed, the cumulative totals for all connections are displayed, as shown in Figure 5-9.
