MoQ : Refactoring the Internet's real-time media stack
MoQ : Refactoring the Internet's real-time media stack his is a new protocol from IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) which is based on Quick/Web Transport. They have a public/subscriber model. The PUBLISHER (e.g. the sender of a live stream) sends the media in small objects. The SUSCRIBER (viewer) can choose which track/bitrate he wants. There is a relay server (Edge/CDN node) in the middle which has the task of delivering the same data to millions of people very fast. So far, real-time media over the internet has been transmitted via two different routes. WebRTC: Very slow (like Zoom, Meet) but limited scale. HLS/DASH: Reaches millions of users, but has a lot of latency. MoQ combines the two. WebRTC (sub-second latency) HLS ( CDN-scale delivery) Let's see how the MoQ works ?
