Consult your Network Administrator to set up port forwarding.
Stream to a CDN
A Content Delivery Network (CDN) relies on geo-diverse CDN servers to receive and disperse web content to
the CDN server closest to the user. The closer the server is to the user, the faster the content is delivered.
Streaming your content through a CDN allows you to stream any time, anywhere, regardless of the viewing
device.
You can publish to any CDN provider that supports incoming streams sent via RTSPannounce or RTMP push,
and you can publish to several different CDNs simultaneously. Both RTSP and RTMP can be used for live
streaming, however not all CDNs or media servers support both formats. Choose the streaming format that
your CDN or media server supports. Epiphan has tested with the CDN providers listed here:

and ensure your Encoding configuration uses one of the supported codecs.
