The video carrier can have a lot of effect over the replication properties, though. HLS is essentially a playlist of video URLs that the client fetches and stitches together, as well as refreshing the playlist to get the names of new chunks. Without an extremely specialized web server, each chink needs to be complete and published before adding it to the playlist, putting a lower bound on the overall latency of the chunk size. RTMP, on the other hand, maintains a live socket between the server and client, and the server can forward each packet as it becomes available.
