<p>The present invention discloses a method and an apparatus for transmitting streaming media data and relates to the field of multimedia communication technologies, so that a problem that DASH communication cannot be implemented when a UE or a server does not support a DASH technology can be avoided. The method includes: receiving a data request sent by a user equipment UE, where the data request is used to request a media presentation description MPD file from a streaming media server; if the UE does not support a dynamic adaptive steaming over the Hypertext Transfer Protocol HTTP DASH technology, forwarding the data request to the streaming media server, and receiving the requested MPD file that is delivered by the streaming media server according to the data request; and acquiring DASH streaming media data from the streaming media server according to the MPD file, and sending the DASH streaming media data to the UE, where a rate at which the DASH streaming media data is transmitted matches a bit rate selected from the MPD file. The present invention is mainly applied to a media transmission process.</p> |
