Darwin Streaming Server
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Darwin Streaming Server (DSS), is the first open sourced RTP/RTSP streaming server. It was released March 16th, 1999 and is a fully featured RTSP/RTP media streaming server capable of streaming a variety of media types including H.264, MPEG-4 and 3GPP.
Developed by Apple, it is the open source equivalent of QuickTime Streaming Server, and is based on its code.
The initial DSS source code release compiled only on Mac OS X. But, external developers quickly ported the code to Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, Tru-64 Unix, Mac OS 9 and Windows.
Source code is available as a release download or as development code via CVS
Akamai uses DSS, exclusively, for streaming QuickTime and MPEG-4 content.
As of this writing, the current version is Darwin Streaming Server 5.5.4.
