About:
SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) is a video streaming transport protocol that optimizes performance for streaming across unpredictable networks, such as the public internet. It provides end-to-end security, reliability, and packet loss recovery using AES encryption and ARQ (Automatic Repeat reQuest) mechanisms. The protocol is an open-source alternative to proprietary technologies like RTMP, enabling high-quality, low-latency video delivery.
Key Features:
  • AES-128/256 bit encryption for secure streams
  • Packet loss recovery via Automatic Repeat Request (ARQ)
  • Optimized for low latency streaming (under 1 second)
  • Connection bonding for redundancy and bandwidth aggregation
  • Open-source and royalty-free
Use Cases:
  • Contributing high-quality video from remote locations (e.g., live news, sports)
  • Point-to-point video distribution between data centers
  • End-to-end delivery over unmanaged networks (the public internet)
Alternatives:
  • RTMP – SRT offers lower latency and better security; RTMP is older and often requires a firewall tunnel (RTMPS).
  • RIST – Both are open standards for reliable streaming; SRT is more widely adopted in the industry and supports a broader feature set like bonding.
