Most live video delivery solutions today are built using DASH/HLS or similar delivery formats with “classic“ CDN infrastructure providing scalability and players with relatively complex logic that includes fetching manifest and segments from network, estimating bandwidth, making ABR decisions. In this talk we would like to present an alternative architecture for live video streaming which draws inspiration from Linux ‘tail’ command. Imagine a client can “subscribe” to a live video stream and just render audio/video data as it comes from the network – sounds like a regular TV, right? And the framework can still support adaptive bitrates (ABR), support low latency and all features that DASH and HLS provide. There are 4 major components in any live delivery system: ingest, processing/encoding, egress and players. In this talk, we going to cover last two. We will talk about network and application level protocol that we use to “pretend” that we tail a file, we discuss CDN components that we’ve built to be able to scale the system, we will also discuss how we can do ABR in this system and how we can control latency using HTTP-3 extensions that we’ve implemented.
