Protocol Concepts

  • publish-subscribe - Core pub/sub model and message flow
  • relays - Relay architecture and CDN integration
  • subgroups-and-objects - Data model: tracks, groups, subgroups, objects (+ wire-format diff 14/16/17)
  • streams-and-framing - Stream classes and code points across drafts 14/16/17
  • joining-fetch - Mechanisms for joining a live stream mid-session
  • qmux - QUIC multiplexing over TCP for fallback transport
  • track-properties - Object and track metadata system (Extensions → Properties rename)

Design Debates

  • switch-abr - Client-side ABR switching (resolved June 2026 as the SWITCH_FROM parameter)
  • joining-fetch-dissent - Competing proposals for joining live streams (resolved June 2026: fill fetch + Range Filters)
  • open-issues-analysis - Full evaluation of all open issues (April 2026)
