Segmented live media delivery protocol utilizing QUIC streams. See the MoQ draft

How It Works

• Luke Curley - Low-Latency Video over QUIC Uploaded: 26th Dec 2021

• Live Media Over QUIC | Luke Curley Uploaded: 4th May 2023

TLDR: Warp works by delivering each audio and video segment as a separate QUIC stream. These streams are assigned a priority such that old video will arrive last and can be dropped. This avoids buffering in many cases, offering the viewer a potentially better experience.

Possible use cases:

• Streaming a Graphical User Interface to web browsers using a single UDP port and with hardware acceleration. See Arc3dia
• Streaming movies from a remote Plex or Jellyfin server

... and many more

Features:

1. Exposes a single port (443/udp, 443/tcp), which is especially useful when scaling docker containers
2. Encrypted and secure end-to-end connections by default
3. Faster handshake, 1RTT, which is especially useful for mobile-first applications
4. Roaming support
5. Congestion Control
