Low Latency: In a network, latency, a synonym for delay, is an expression of how much time it takes for a packet of data to get from one designated point to another.
The latency assumption seems to be that data should be transmitted instantly between one point and another (that is, with no delay at all).
The contributors to network latency include:
This is simply the time it takes for a packet to travel between one place and another at the speed of light.
The medium itself (whether optical fiber, wireless, or some other)
introduces some delay. The size of the packet introduces delay in a round trip since a larger packet will take longer to receive and return than a short one.
The Real Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) is a low-latency streaming protocol used by Flash Player to play on-demand and live streams. Wowza Streaming Engine can stream both live and on-demand streams via RTMP, and can contain multiple channels of video, audio, and data. RTMP maintains persistent connections, enabling audio, video, and data to move between the Wowza and a Flash client, for uses such as the following:
Wowza Streaming Engine supports the following for streaming to Android devices, set-top boxes, 3GPP devices, and QuickTime and VideoLAN VLC players:
