Conventional Internet servers of the type used in the millions by Google, Amazon and CDNs such as Akamai were designed for transferring generic web content, not for streaming high-resolution live video.

Specifically, those Internet servers lack the technologies that are fundamental to real-time media streaming and thus, problematically, cannot transmit millions of media packets per second with low latency (nor with other essential characteristics of high-quality media viewing, such as low jitter).

In contrast a purpose-built, real-time media streaming system based on a foundation of networking protocols and media containers that produce low-latency, low-jitter, highly scalable, secure IP packet transmissions
