HTTP Stream Splitting

As enterprises grow globally, the most cost-effective way to run marketing, training, or internal communications is via video. Video solutions for the enterprise consist of two major parts: content management, which includes the recording, capturing, and storing of video; and content delivery, which as the name suggests, is making sure the video content is being delivered to the end user as efficiently as possible.

Riverbed® works with technology partners like Polycom and Adobe to provide a complete, end-to-end enterprise video solution for its customers. While Riverbed partners deliver products to deal with video content management, reporting and the prepositioning of video, and provisioning a logical content delivery network, Riverbed Steelhead® appliances ensure the efficient delivery of live and on-demand video to users located at the branch office.

One of the key use cases for video deployments in an enterprise is live video. Live video can be very useful for company earnings calls, a CEO’s live broadcast to employees, or even as a special, company-wide announcement. In the live video context, the biggest requirement to easing congestion and ensuring stability of the video is “stream-splitting.” Stream splitting is where a single stream is sent downstream from the origin to the edge (branch), where it is split into as many individual streams as there are users at that location. For example, if there are 200 users at a branch location, a single stream traverses the WAN and is split into 200 streams on the LAN, where bandwidth is not constrained.

Starting with RiOS 7.0, Riverbed Steelhead appliances support native stream splitting of video delivered over HTTP, such as with applications like Microsoft Silverlight and Adobe Flash. In addition to this stream splitting capability, Riverbed’s traditional benefits like latency-aware QoS and data de-duplication of other application traffic continue to apply towards enterprise video.
