- +Related to: hls, dash
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Peer-to-Peer Streaming
Developers should learn P2P streaming for building scalable, cost-efficient applications like live broadcasting platforms, video-on-demand services, or large-scale file sharing systems
Pros
- +It's particularly useful in scenarios with high concurrent viewership, such as sports events or viral content, where traditional client-server models might struggle with bandwidth limitations and server overload
- +Related to: webrtc, streaming-protocols
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Adaptive Bitrate Streaming if: You want it is crucial for handling variable network bandwidth, reducing buffering, and optimizing video quality for different devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and smart tvs and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Peer-to-Peer Streaming if: You prioritize it's particularly useful in scenarios with high concurrent viewership, such as sports events or viral content, where traditional client-server models might struggle with bandwidth limitations and server overload over what Adaptive Bitrate Streaming offers.
