Hi Michael,

Actually, you don't need to somehow hijack the RTMP listener. You
can send an RTMP request to the local router asking for the list
of nets. The router will reply, potentially with more than one
packet, based on how many nets are present on your LAN.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but are you guaranteed that there will always be
a router ?

where I used AppleTalk, FTP and HTTP.

Jens,

The use of an AppleTalk router is to provide extended network connectivity. A router is not necessary, for example as in the case you describe. The 3 machines can talk with each other, but that's it. In a larger network environment, there may be a need to setup zones so that different systems can be logically associated with similar user. In such a case a router will be installed to provide this functionality.
