What are the major differences between a (RTMP) and (RTMFP)? I know RTMP uses a TCP port whereas a RTMFP uses UDP port. And i think right in saying RTMFP uses less bandwith.  
But what are the other differences? For example to make a live video chat is the process of creating the application same or different?
