Video Streaming: A Complete Guide to Video Delivery: From Network Protocols and Transport to Ingest, HLS, and MPEG-DASH
This pattern card shows how teams pair protocols in one hybrid stack, enough to sketch which leg uses which transport. Volume 2 covers the transport half in detail: the glass-to-glass latency budget, TCP versus UDP and congestion control, ingest over RTMP, SRT and RIST, and segment delivery with HLS, MPEG-DASH and CMAF. Written by Nikolay Sapunov, CEO at Fora Soft.
