buffers: outstreams vs instreams

[dsdsdsdsd]

hello;

I am terribly confused about buffers;

with regards to an incoming netStream ?

with regards to an outgoing netStream ?

can anyone shed any light please;

thanks

for instance - where does the buffering take place? on the FCS or in the users instance of the .swf movie on their pc
