QnD comparison of Red5 and BlazeDS with a focus on server-pushing.
both do AMF3 RPCs
both support pushing data server -> client
BUT
* BlazeDS does not use RTMP. Instead it uses an "AMFChannel" with a long-polling strategy or a "StreamingAMF Channel" which is actually a combination of a one-way HTTP server->client stream in chunks + simple polling.
