System Control Protocol Plug-ins
Control protocol plug-ins parse client requests so that the server can understand them, and they parse server responses so that clients can understand them. The plug-in monitors ports on the server for client requests. If a request is in a packet format that the plug-in can parse, it sends the request to the server. The server then calls an appropriate plug-in to process the request. Windows Media Services includes the following plug-ins to parse HTTP, RTSP, and MMS client requests and server responses.
- Note In Windows Server 2008 operating systems, the MMS protocol is not supported, and Windows Media Services does not provide an MMS Server Control Protocol plug-in. Versions of Windows Media Player earlier than 9 Series support only the HTTP and MMS protocols (they do not support RTSP). If you want a Windows Media server running on Windows Server 2008 to communicate with versions of Windows Media Player earlier than 9 Series, you must configure the server to support HTTP.

| WMS MMS Server Control Protocol | Enables a Windows Media server to communicate with clients by using the MMS protocol. The properties of this plug-in can be specified programmatically. For more information, see WMS MMS Server Control Protocol Plug-in Properties. |
