20 Chapter 1 Overview of QuickTime Streaming

Relays

QuickTime Streaming Server can also function as a relay sever, allowing you to scale

streaming infrastructure by distributing the load between servers and making the most

efficient use of network bandwidth. Relays are useful for broadcasts with numerous

viewers in different locations.

When used as a relay server, QuickTime Streaming Server forwards a stream from a

source (such as Live Broadcaster, QuickTime Streaming Server) to a destination server.

Mainly used in the case of live streaming, relays are most commonly set up when there

are viewers of the live broadcast in multiple locations (different buildings on a campus,

different countries). The source server generally resides in the location where the live

broadcast is occurring and then forwards the stream to the servers in the various

locations.

For example, a company can broadcast a CEO’s presentation by relaying it from

headquarters to branch offices.
