Operational Considerations for Streaming Media
RFC 9317, “Operational Considerations for Streaming Media”, is an Informational document published in October 2022 by J. Holland, A. Begen, S. Dawkins. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document provides an overview of operational networking and transport protocol issues that pertain to the quality of experience (QoE) when streaming video and other high-bitrate media over the Internet.
This document explains the characteristics of streaming media delivery that have surprised network designers or transport experts who lack specific media expertise, since streaming media highlights key differences between common assumptions in existing networking practices and observations of media delivery issues encountered when streaming media over those existing networks.
