Introduction

• The first generation of web pages was only made with text.

• Nowadays multimedias take an important part in most web application.

• There was a problem in the quality of multimedia transfer by the internet.

Streaming is set to transform the World Wide Web: video and audio are accepted as the most natural way to communicate.

Solution

1

What’s Streaming ?

• streaming : transmit audio & video and other

multimedia over the internet without making

viewer waiting.

Streaming Services

• Education (E-learning)

• Web-based channels (Web TV, Web monitoring,Internet radio)

• Video-on-demand (VOD)

• Music distribution (music on-demand)

• Internet and intranet browsing of content (asset management)

• Internet broadcasting (corporate communications)

Principle Streaming

Streaming is based primarily on:

• Broadcast a video of a server to a client.

• Segmentation of the video.

• Assemble packets.

• The video is played on as the packets arrive.

• At the end these packets are then destroyed.

Streaming Applications

9

Streaming Protocols :

There are currently three protocols that allow for streaming:

• HTTP.

• FTP.

• RTP.

10

Streaming Protocols : RTP(1/2)

RTP (Real Time Protocol) :

• RTP was created in 1996 and was defined in RFC 1889

to define functions in real time as the broadcast audio

and / or video.

• The principle of RTP is to send packets in real time on

the network.

• This packets are marked temporally so as to be

rescheduled by the client.

11

Streaming Protocol :RTP(2/2)

• Sequence number : detect packet loss ,sequences loss in the correct order.

• Timestamp : Synchronization & jitter calculation.

Header IP Header UDP Header RTP Audio & Video Data

12

Streaming Protocols : RTSP(1/2)

RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol):

• RTSP was created in 1998 by RFC 2326 allows to

control multimedia streams delivered via RTP.

• RTSP is an application layer protocol designed to

operate on protocols such as RTP/RTCP and RSVP.

• It can control the distribution of multimedia streams.

• It provides VCR-like functions remotely like: – Reading.– Pause.– Stop.

13

Streaming Protocols : RTSP(2/2)

Setup Start an RTSP session and resource allocation for a stream

Play and Record Start data transmission of the stream

Pause Temporarily halt a stream without freeing server resources

Teardown Free resources associated with stream and end of a session

14

Streaming Protocols :RTCP

• RTCP : Real time Control Protocol

• RTCP is used in conjunction with RTP.

• Feed back on the quality of service (reports : nbre packets , lost , statistics)

• The feedback messages include reports, such as number of packets lost and jitter statistics (early or late arrivals).

Recognition of flaws.

15

Conclusion

Streaming allows us to continue to use applications where off-line (as opposed to pure web-applications).

It allows the optimization of software licensing.

The maintenance of streaming server is relatively expensive

It is difficult to keep the service steady if the bandwidth is low
