Hi @Marc Mroz - Earlier in the year you mentioned some work that was going on to optimize Stream for Hive (and some other P2P tools). Do you have any updates on how that work is progressing?
And until you deliver that - can you give an overview of how the Hive plugin works today with Stream? (What works well, and what needs to be improved).

Hi @Adrian Hyde - Today we don't have any support for P2P caching solutions for Stream (Hive/Kollective).
If you have a cache proxy like Ramp OmniCache, BlueCoat, Riverbed, those will work with Stream as long you as configure your network to route video traffic through the cache servers.
We have a project planned to build support for Hive/Kollective and improve support for Ramp.
When we finish this project it will roughly work like this...
I don't have a hard timeline I can promise for this but it's something we've started high level planning on.

Interesting - this is from the Hive website.
"The Skype Meeting Broadcast and Office 365 Video platforms allow you to use Hive Streaming for both live and on-demand video delivery"
But when they talk about how it works, it only mentions Broadcast.
"An unobtrusive Hive Streaming client is installed on end-user devices. The Hive client then acts as a transparent HTTP proxy between the streaming server and the Skype Meeting Broadcast player."
I guess I will need to follow-up with them to see why they mention Office Video and Stream when discussing optimization, since you guys have not built anything in on your end yet.
