Set up an MPEG-DASH (push) stream
MPEG-DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) is an open standard, adaptive HTTP-based
streaming protocol that sends video and audio content over the network in small, media segments that
get reassembled at the streaming destination. Media segments can stream over HTTP port 80 or port 443
for HTTPS, which are typically open for network access. As such, the content can easily traverse firewalls
with little to no IT involvement.
