Abstract
A system architecture and methods for streaming or live video that can provide sub-second video over WebRTC to viewers with a horizontally scaling architecture. In some embodiments, the system and methods described generate video from another source on a server and redistribute it to client devices in a peer-to-peer architecture. The system and architecture are designed to deliver WebRTC to users but does not require broadcasters to change the systems and protocols they are familiar with and comfortable with using. Embodiments are directed to providing streaming audio and/or video content through an architecture that can ingress (intake) RTMP format content and egress (output and distribute) WebRTC format content efficiently by generating a client-side peer and client-side content on a server.
