Anyone Can Broadcast Video Over The Internet

Аннотация

Being able to stream live video from a desktop to a large number of end systems over the Internet allows even average users to host their own TV shows at home. The availability of broadband connections, along with users’ increasing ability to capture and view multimedia streams (video and audio), enables average users to send (and receive) decent-quality video streams to (and from) the Internet. The missing component for providing such TV-like service has been a scalable one-to-many distribution mechanism that accommodates live streaming content. Such a mechanism should ensure intime delivery of streaming content from a source to each interested user throughout the Internet.
