HTTP

Hypertext Transfer Protocol: An application layer communication protocol

between a client browser or other program and a web server. HTTP uses a

request/response model. The client sends a request to the server containing the

requested method, URL, protocol version, and message structure containing the

request modifier, client information, and content similar to MIME. The server

responds with a status line that includes the version of the message protocol,

success or error encoding plus server information, entity meta information, and

possibly physical content. See the RFC2616 protocol for details.

HTTPS

Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure: The HTTP protocol running on the TLS

(Transport Layer Security) or SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) protocol. Used to

establish an information security channel to provide encrypted communication

and authentication of the identity of the network server. See the RFC2818

protocol for details.

Loopback

The audio and video data simulation is actually transmitted on the path to test

Test

whether the expected output can be obtained. The loopback test can test the

local network connection, or go back to the local area and test the remote

network connection.

Internet Protocol

IP Address

A 32-bit (four-byte) binary number that uniquely identifies a host (computer)

connected to the Internet and is distinguished from other hosts on the Internet

for the purpose of communicating in the form of packet transmission. An IP

address consists of a "dot" representation consisting of four bytes of decimal

digits separated by periods (for example, 127.0.0.1). The first byte, second byte,

or third byte of the IP address identifies the network to which the host is

connected; the remaining bits indicate the host itself.
