Reliable Internet Stream Transport
An open-source, interoperable transport protocol designed for reliable, low-latency video contribution and distribution over the public internet

Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is a time standard. It enables other technologies, ex. the 2110 protocol, to keep accurate timing between audio, video, closed captioning and other metadata. It provides for higher precision than NTP (Network Time Protocol).
Secure Reliable Transport is an open-source video streaming protocol and technology used to transmit high-quality video and audio streams over unreliable or unpredictable networks, such as the public Internet. SRT was developed by Haivision, and it has gained widespread adoption in the broadcast and streaming industries due to its focus . . . Read more
High level view of video streaming workflow for live content.
Measure of total time for network request (e.g. for a media object) to travel over the network and for response to travel back.
Quick UDP Internet Connections (QUIC) is a UDP-based transport layer network protocol. HTTP/3 uses QUIC to achieve performance enhancements (e.g. simpler handshakes, multiplexing) such as lower latency media streaming.
Real Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) is a communication protocol for streaming audio, video, and data over the Internet. Originally developed as a proprietary protocol by Macromedia for streaming between Flash Player and the Flash Communication Server, it has since been widely adopted for streaming to and from other end points . . .

Internet Group Management Protocol allows receivers to indicate their interest to join (or leave) an IPv4 multicast traffic distribution group. IGMP is typically used for IPTV live broadcast (one-to-many distribution across the core network to STBs).
Network definition: Latency describes the time required to transmit data or to communicate between two parties. In data networking, it corresponds to the one-way delay between two points (contrasted with the round-trip time (RTT)). Application definition: The term latency has been used to describe the degree of delay added from . . . Read more
A one-to-many network traffic distribution mechanism. Multicast stands in contrast to unicast (one-to-one) network traffic transactions. Broadcast (one-to-all) is the other traffic delivery scheme which is only used and feasible in very limited settings. Multicast has been mainly used with the traditional live broadcast type of delivery.
