Macromedia Breeze Edge Server
Connecting to Breeze through edge 
servers
When edge servers are present on an organization’s network, Breeze users connect to Breeze 
Meeting indirectly through the edge (or proxy) server. This connection occurs transparently. 
To Breeze users, it appears that they are connected directly to the Breeze server hosting Breeze 
Meeting, but they are most likely connected through the proxy or edge server servicing their 
local network. Edge servers offload traffic to the origin Breeze server caching static content 
like recorded Breeze meetings and presentations.
These take place behind the network connection to the Breeze server. The client (the user’s 
computer) connects to the edge (proxy) server instead of making a direct connection to Flash 
Communication Server (FCS) (Breeze Meeting) directly. The edge server in turn connects to 
the origin Breeze server. Many additional steps, such as user authentication and permissions 
authorization, are hidden from the Breeze user. 
Edge servers provide an additional layer of defense between the user’s Internet connection and 
the Breeze server. All traffic coming from the Internet and with Breeze as its destination goes 
through the edge server.
