Media Streaming Technology
- Real Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) is a protocol used for streaming audio, video and data over the Internet, between a player and a server.
- The raw TCP-based RTMP protocol maintains a single persistent connection and allows real-time communication. To guarantee smooth delivery, the protocol splits video and data into 128-byte fragments (except for audio ). Fragments are then interleaved and multiplexed over a single connection. With longer data chunks, the protocol only carries a one-byte header per fragment, thus incurring very little overhead.
- HTTP Live Streaming: HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) is adaptive bit rate streaming delivered over http, which enables delivering audio / video content to mobile and tablet devices. HLS is very crucial for viewing video / audio streams in apple hand held devices. One advantage in HLS is the client can switch to an optimal bit rate mid stream based on the client’s network availability.
