Keep in mind what "RTMP" stands for: Real Time media protocol. A Flash server 
expects that it is communicating with a client displaying its media in 
realtime. It will intentionally slow down its delivery if it thinks it is 
sending too fast.

Also bear in mind that most of what is present in rtmpdump's code was 
determined through experimentation and analysis of RTMP traffic. The meaning 
of ctrl types 31 and 32 in the rtmpdump code comments are best guesses; there 
is no definition of them in any publicly available documentation. Sometimes 
your questions are going to go unanswered because quite simply, nobody knows. 
(Obviously Adobe employees know, but they don't seem to have any inclination 
to be helpful here.)
