Streaming is a technology that allows you to watch a video or listen to audio via the internet without waiting for an entire file to download.

For example, the later parts of the video will download while you are watching the first parts, so your media player always has enough data to continue playing the video without interruption.

This is a better experience for viewers and a more economic use of broadcasters’ bandwidth and processing power. Broadcasters typically wish to provide two forms of streaming content: Live and OnDemand.

For example, a radio station might want to broadcast their live audio content via the internet, simultaneously as it broadcasts via FM radio. However, the same radio station might also like to use OnDemand access, which will provide users with recorded and achieved content.

HTTP Streaming is a technology which allows us to watch and listen to multimedia content on the Internet, while they are being downloaded.
