Streaming with HTTP

A standard Web server streams media data with HTTP on top of TCP, which handles the data
transfers. TCP is optimized for delivering non-real-time applications such as file transfers and
tries to maximize the data transfer rate while ensuring stability and high throughput. One of the
ways TCP achieves reliable data transfer is by re-transmitting lost packets; however, it cannot
ensure that all re-transmitted packets arrive in time to be played in the media stream.
Table 3 describes the HTTP methods supported for Media Flow Controller in Release 2.0.4.
