Live Streaming Technology: Architecture Evolution and DASH Implementation

This article discusses the explosive growth of live streaming technology in recent years and its maturation into a stable, systematic field. It focuses on two key technical aspects of live streaming: media streaming technology and barrage (bullet comments) technology, specifically how Meitu has evolved its architecture to better support rapidly growing business demands.

The article also covers Hulu's live streaming system, which was launched in May 2017 as part of its online video services. Hulu, one of America's three major professional online video service providers, built its system based on DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) and includes innovative features in its implementation.

Meitu's products like Meitu XiuXiu, Meipai, and Meiyazhiai have integrated live streaming since early 2016. By the end of 2016, Meipai users had initiated 20.5 million live streams with 1.5 billion views, showing continuous rapid growth.
