Originally developed as a proprietary protocol by Macromedia for streaming between Flash Player and the Flash Communication Server, Adobe (which acquired Macromedia) has released an incomplete version of the specification of the protocol for public use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Secure Reliable Transport Protocol<\/strong> (SRT) is a new transport protocol that solves the issue of low-quality video under noisy, poor public internet networks. The goal behind its implementation is to optimize video transport over unpredictable networks by minimizing lost packets and bandwidth fluctuations. In short, SRT offers high-quality and low latency video streaming with greater security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"RTMP_Pros_And_Cons\"><\/span>RTMP: Pros And Cons<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:18px\">Pros<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>RTMP is a protocol especially developed for streaming media, and the optimization of the underlying layer is better than other protocols. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is an old protocol that has been used for many years. There are domestic mainstream CDN and OTT platforms that support RTMP, also with countless Software&amp;Hardware encoders. As the most commonly used protocol, you can find it almost everywhere with streaming. The design of using RTMP to transfer is also suitable for long-term and continuous playback for more than 10 days. Stream would <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:18px\">Cons<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>However, RTMP is not sufficient to meet today\u2019s streaming requirements.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Support for RTMP is diminishing. Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) are favoring other protocols like HLS or MPEG-DASH over RTMP entry points. The protocol does not support HEVC encoded streams or advanced resolutions. Because of bandwidth limitations, RTMP cannot be used at higher bitrates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RTMP also experiences issues with multi-language support, security, and support for ad insertion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"788\" height=\"444\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress.yololiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/figure_12.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5889\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wordpress.yololiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/figure_12.jpg 788w, https:\/\/wordpress.yololiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/figure_12-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wordpress.yololiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/figure_12-150x85.jpg 150w, https:\/\/wordpress.yololiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/figure_12-768x433.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 788px) 100vw, 788px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">RTMP vs. SRT: Bandwidth test results<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"SRT_Pros_And_Cons\"><\/span>SRT: Pros And Cons<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:17px\">Pros:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest benefit of SRT is that the protocol can help securely and reliably transport low-latency media files across unpredictable connections, such as the public internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"788\" height=\"443\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress.yololiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/figure_6.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5888\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wordpress.yololiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/figure_6.jpg 788w, https:\/\/wordpress.yololiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/figure_6-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wordpress.yololiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/figure_6-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/wordpress.yololiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/figure_6-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 788px) 100vw, 788px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">RTMP vs. SRT: Round trip, end-to-end latency results<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Haivision released SRT as an open-source protocol. The developers in the community can have access to the source code and create their own SRT-based systems. Thousands of companies and organizations worldwide have adopted SRT as a means of delivering high-quality live videos over unreliable networks.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SRT provides end-to-end security with the AES 128\/256 encryption for extra safety. It also helps recover video and audio streams almost immediately, as well as monitoring the network health between endpoints, and provides simplified firewall traversal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:18px\">Cons:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Although with these advantages, SRT still has some weaknesses compared with RTMP. It is based on a bidirectional UDP point-to-point connection but is not ideal for content distribution to a large number of users. So SRT may not be the choice for billions or millions amount of streaming. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Use_SRT_Streaming_on_YoloCast\"><\/span>How to Use SRT Streaming on YoloCast?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/yololiv.com\/yolocast-overview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YoloCast<\/a>&nbsp;is YoloLiv\u2019s cloud platform that offers professional and comprehensive features to deliver the best live-streaming experience for individuals and organizations.

Aside from Wowza\u2019s Streaming Engine, some major live streaming platforms haven\u2019t adopted SRT as an available protocol yet, meaning they can\u2019t be used to stream. However, as more and more industry developers integrate the open source protocol into their systems, you can expect more across-the-board integration in the coming months.
