RTMFP works over UDP and tries to establish a end-to-end media path. Due to 
certain firewalls and NATs, the end-to-end media path is not always possible. 
For example, if both the users are behind separate symmetric NATs, or if one of 
the user is behind UDP blocking firewall. When RTMFP fails to establish the 
end-to-end media path, there are two alternatives -- 

(a) fall back to client-server media path using RTMFP -- this solves the 
problem of symmetric NATs, but requires your own FMS (Flash Media Server) that 
supports RTMFP, and does not work with free cirrus and stratus services.

(b) fall back to client server media path using RTMP -- this solves the problem 
in most cases, but requires your own media server (FMS, Red5, rtmplite, etc) 
and requires your application to implement such a fall-back. We have this as a 
planned enhancement in VideoIO
http://code.google.com/p/flash-videoio/issues/detail?id=3
but haven't implemented it yet. In the meanwhile you can detect in your own 
application whether rtmfp worked or not, and then fall back to rtmp when using 
VideoIO.

I believe, there are other articles on the web, that explain the limitation of 
RTMFP.
