The Twitch stuff is really, really good. The reason I didn't talk about it in the post is because the basic ideas that go into reducing the latency of any HLS/DASH implementation are the same. Smaller segment sizes, chunked transp

That's a really great point about multi-CDN architectures. Partly because big parts of WebRTC are not standardized (session setup signaling, of course, but also in practice lots of necessary state management) it's a little bit har

The smaller the chunk (file) sizes, the less benefit you're getting from pushing the chunks through a CDN. More requests will come back to your origin server. And there's a lot of complexity in the pipeline from encoder -> orig

Nice! I am a bit skeptical about "down to about 1 second" being achievable with DASH or LL-HLS reliably. Of course, I could be wrong. And a lot depends on the definitions of "about" and "reliably," as well as y

I agree that RTP over QUIC [1] is closer to what we'd build today if we were starting from scratch than WebRTC is. (Partly benefiting from the lessons learned getting to WebRTC 1.0, of course.) It's worth noting that QUIC is also

[post author here] In addition to what vr000m said above, I'll just add that when you make HLS chunks smaller, you're reducing the leverage you get from HLS's core design decisions. I tried to cover some of this in the post.

The biggest problem with sending media over data channels is that there's no good way to do bandwidth estimation. Data channels weren't designed to be used for media, and the current WebRTC spec (and javascript implementation) doe

FWIW we did two pretty extensive proof-of-concept prototypes (one in pure C++ and one in Rust) before choosing Rust for this project. I, personally, thought that we would choose C++. I'm a big "choose boring technology" advoc

I would say that both the client and the media server (SFU) side of the work are challenging in their own ways, if you are trying to support a large variety of use cases, features, and sessions with large numbers of participants. The client

We're fans of webrtc-rs, but interop considerations pretty much mean that building on top of libwebrtc is necessary for our client libraries for now. `daily-core` is signaling, the (always evolving) low-level trickery needed to scale c
