What modern delivery systems often rely on HTTP-based adaptive streaming for compatibility?

Answer

HLS or DASH.

As the internet infrastructure matured and requirements expanded beyond simple audio clips, newer delivery systems emerged that prioritized compatibility with existing infrastructure, especially firewalls and caching systems designed around HTTP. These modern approaches often utilize HTTP-based adaptive streaming technologies. The text explicitly names HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) and DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) as examples of these systems that handle both modern video and audio content. While these modern methods conceptually descend from the session control principles first introduced by protocols like RTSP, they use HTTP as the base transport for segmented data delivery.
