Video Streaming: A Complete Guide to Video Delivery: From Network Protocols and Transport to Ingest, HLS, and MPEG-DASH
This latency budget cheat sheet splits glass-to-glass delay into capture, encode, transport, packaging and player legs, so you can see which leg to cut first. Volume 2 covers the latency budget in detail: live versus near-live, what the network adds, ingest over RTMP, SRT and RIST, and segment sizing in HLS, DASH and CMAF. Written by Nikolay Sapunov, CEO at Fora Soft.
