ENCODER PULL
: When Windows Media Services "pulls" the content from the encoder, the
server connects to an encoder stream that is already in progress. With encoder pull, the
server connects to your encoder, as apposed to 'push' where you log into the server to
stream your content. This is very useful because if you lose the connection to the server,
the server will reconnect to the encoder automatically, once an Internet connection
resumes. In an encoder pull configuration, the encoder must be started and encoding
content before the Windows Media server can connect to it.
In order to stream using 'pull', you must have an external static IP address. If your
encoding computer is behind a router, the server would not be able to communicate
with the encoder, unless you have your router configured to port forward to your
encoding machine.

Ports:
Ports allow multiple applications to reside on a single computer - all talking TCP/IP.
The 80 is the default port number for the HTTP protocol so typing it is not necessary.
The most commonly used streaming ports are: 554, 1554, 4040 and 8080.
