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 ?
