The CDN + RTMP live streaming technology usually publishes streams using the RTMP protocol, and converts to HTTP-FLV protocol when playing streams, which enables the live streaming can be played directly on the web pages.
Different from the most common CDN + RTMP live streaming technologies, ZEGO's live streaming solutions enable real-time communication between the host and the audience to reach dedicated access line alike quality by using the following technologies:
- Private transmission protocol
- Private transmission algorithm
- BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) multipath
The table below shows the differences in detail:
Technology | Common CDN + RTMP live streaming | ZEGO live streaming |
---|---|---|
Transmission protocol | TCP-based RTMP | The UDP-based private transmission protocol |
Transmission algorithm | TCP | The ZEGO private algorithm with anti-packet loss, bandwidth adaptable technologies. |
Network path | Single path | BGP multipath |
To meet various live streaming needs, ZEGO now supports forwarding streams to multiple CDNs, and sharing your live streaming to social media.
