Microsoft Media Server
Microsoft Media Server (MMS), a Microsoft
port is UDP/TCP 1755.[1]
Microsoft deprecated MMS in favor of
RTSP (TCP/UDP port 554) in 2003 with the release of the Windows Media Services 9 Series, but continued to support the MMS for some time in the interest of backward compatibility. Support for the protocol was finally dropped in Windows Media Services 2008.[2]
As of 2012[update] Microsoft still recommendsuniform resource identifier (URI) scheme
mms
has also been proposed to be used for the unrelated Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) protocol.[6]
For several years developers of the SDP Multimedia download-tool reverse engineered the MMS protocol and published unofficial documentation for it. However, Microsoft finally released the protocol specification in February 2008.[7]
