Exploring Streaming Protocols (CTS RU 1.5)
- Interpret the acronyms used for streaming protocols
- Understand streaming protocols in the context of the OSI 7-layer model, including encapsulation
- Identify different protocols used for payload and control of an AV stream
- Contrast the respective benefits of TCP and UDP in a streaming context
