HTTP Live Streaming

HTTP Live Streaming is a protocol designed to deliver live streaming content to clients on the

Internet using a standard unmodified Web Server and the standard HTTP protocol.

The highlights of the protocol are:

 The encoder segments the bitstream into small files of similar duration, at some suitable

points.

 The encoder continuously uploads the files as they are created to a standard web server.

 Every time the encoder uploads a new file, it also updates a special playlist file in the

server, which informs the clients of which segments are available.

 The encoder also takes care of deleting old files from the server.

 The clients can connect to the web server at will; they download the playlist file, and start

playing the segments as they come.

 A standard unmodified web server can be used.

A typical use case is depicted below.
