DASH and Media-over-QUIC Transport Face-Off: Performance Showdown at Low Latency

Zafer Gurel, Tugce Erkilic Civelek, Deniz Ugur, Yigit K. Erinc, Ali C. Begen

Low-latency Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (LL-DASH) utilizes the chunked packaging of the Common Media Application Format (CMAF) and the chunked transfer encoding of HTTP to address the need for media delivery with latencies comparable to traditional broadcasting. However, to achieve even lower latencies at a similar scale, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has been actively developing a QUIC-based solution called Media-over-QUIC Transport (MOQT). This paper investigates whether MOQT is versatile and capable enough to replace DASH, LL-DASH and other custom UDP-based protocols to become the ultimate media transport protocol.
