Description

Smooth Streaming is an adaptive streaming protocol developed by Microsoft for delivering audio and video content over the Internet. It is based on the standard HTTP protocol and works by dynamically changing the bitrate of the stream according to the quality of the connection and the device being used. This allows for a smooth, high-quality streaming experience regardless of network conditions or the device being used. Smooth Streaming also supports fast start up, low latency, and low buffering so that users can begin enjoying their content almost immediately. Smooth Streaming is used by many video streaming services, such as Netflix, Hulu, and YouTube.
