Preliminary Design and Implementation Discussion of Low Latency Live Video Web Streaming Engine

The threat of COVID-19 maximizes the demands for live video streaming. How to provide a video streaming service with low latency becomes one urgent and necessary research issue. This paper would survey and discuss the critical factors to impact transmission latency from the perspective of software implementation of a web streaming engine. Based on the initial experiment, the proposed live video web streaming engine can achieve under 3-second latency.
