ABSTRACT

Video streaming is the process of delivering video content to a viewing device for immediate display. Streaming is often the first application that springs to mind when people think about transporting video over a network. Aside from the obvious entertainment applications, streaming video can be used for a variety of business purposes, including communications, training, education, and customer support. For these applications, video providers want to control many aspects of the user experience, and they will want to control and manage their own private video streaming systems.
