Streaming Connection and Bandwidth : Depends on streaming bitrate configured, communication logic (streams per user) and users.Д«andwidth usage involves both server connection and network transfer requirements (monthly bandwidth allocation) that need to be available with your provider.

For all features including archiving, recording, transcoding & HTML5 WebRTC, HLS/DASH delivery for mobiles, HTML5 WebRTC, external session control (rtmp, webrtc) and great reliability, you can also check the Wowza SE based legacy plans and dedicated servers.

If you also need web hosting and/or VOD (video on demand) delivery and/or expect big usage spikes but no archiving/recording/transcoding, you should consider Red5 plans and servers that provide great rates for bandwidht.

You get a turnkey functional RTMP address to use remotely, in combination with your existing web host, to configure in Flash based web apps or encoder apps.

If you just need the remote flash based videochat, conferencing, live streaming functionality you should review the Remote RTMP (Cloud) hosting plans that just provide the rtmp address for streaming and interactions.

Includes snapshots & transcoding, archiving, recording, VOD, HTML5 WebRTC, HLS/DASH delivery for mobiles, HTML5 WebRTC, external session control (rtmp, webrtc), re-streaming (including RTSP 24/7 IP cameras).

All features are available with the WebRTC Host - Complete Hosting plans.

When using remote streaming services, you will need your current web hosting to include access to latest FFMPEG and codecs for stream snapshots, analysis, transcoding.

To add live streaming capabilities to an existing website / host, the WebRTC Host - Streaming Only plans can bring the necessary features (HTML5 WebRTC, HLS & RTMP, RTSP).Streaming Hosting Type : Depends on required features. Is not supported directly in browsers or by Flash plugin so delivery to web users is possible only in other formats (and transcoding may be required). RTSP is usually used by IP cameras but can also be used by other streaming solutions for accessing and publishing streams. RTSP - Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) is a network control protocol designed for use in entertainment and communications systems to control streaming media servers. Latest VideoWhisper solutions are built to use WebRTC. WebRTC is supported in HTML5 web applications (PC and mobile browsers) for broadcasting and playback of live video. WebRTC is a free, open projectВ that provides browsers and mobile applications with Real-Time Communications (RTC) capabilities via simple APIs. As RTMP is supported using Flash plugin in browser, RTMP streams can be delivered to mobile users using HTML5 HLS, MPEG-DASH (after transcoding if necessary). RTMP is supported by multiple encoders like desktop OBS, Wirecast, GoCoder (for iOS/Android) and hardware video publishing devices. RTMP - Real Time Messaging Protocol is a protocol for streaming audio, video and data over the Internet, between web based Adobe Flash applications (PC browsers) or other clients and a server. Streaming can be done using multiple protocols: A relay streaming server is always used by VideoWhisper solutions for reliability, scaling (standard P2P solutions require broadcasters to have server grade connections for similar usage) and also centralized access/interaction control necessary in these projects. For more details see VideoWhisper application requirements. This is used in addition to web hosting where website files and scripts are hosted.

Special software is required to run on server side as services for accepting and serving the streaming connections from clients. Live streaming video involves special communication, beyond regular HTTP requests used in standard sites.
