The Low Latency Live Streaming Landscape in 2019

Latency in live video streaming is an important factor that affects user experience and depends on the specific use case. Low latency applications include real-time communication, sports broadcasting, interactive experiences, auctions, and gambling. Three main approaches to reduce latency are short segment duration, real-time protocols, and chunked-transfer segmented streaming. Proprietary solutions using WebRTC as a transport mechanism are also emerging in the market. The Mux live streaming latency spectrum classifies different latencies into high, standard, low, ultra-low, and sub-second categories based on their use cases and technologies involved.
