From a long time we have modern adaptive bitreate techniques to ensure high quality streaming of media content over the Internet delivered from conventional HTTP web servers, including live streaming.
HLS streaming communications protocol developed by Apple Inc. was released in 2009. As of 2022, an annual video industry survey has found it to be the most popular streaming format.
MPEG-DASH, is another adaptive bitrate streaming technique, published in April, 2012 under MPEG.
Adaptive bitrate streaming provides the best video quality and viewer experience possible – no matter the connection, software, or device. MPEG-DASH uses a single stream for a bitrate on a certain resolution. So, while DASH provides better performance under fixed network conditions, HLS with ability to switch between different streams based on the network connection provides an unparalleled user experience in real-world conditions.
