Comparing to Traditional Streaming Architectures
Traditional architectures transmit the whole stream directly from one
server hosted by radio or TV stations.
With Octoshape, the end-user receives fragments of the
live program from many peers in the grid.
The result is a quality media experience, and a 97% reduction of bandwidth consumption.
