METHOD OF PROGRESSIVE STREAMING USING A REAL-TIME STREAMING PROTOCOL

摘要

A progressive streaming method using a real-time streaming protocol is provided to enable a client to play contents continuously, which are streamed from a server by using the real-time streaming protocol, after the played part of the contents if playback is restarted after pause. A server enables the client to ready operation of a video decoder in advance by informing the client of configuration information needed for initializing a player with SDP information transmitted to the client(S104). If the client requests the pause by using a pause method, the server stops streaming transfer of the contents while responding to a request by including count information of transferred TCP(Transmission Control Protocol) packets(S113). If the client requests the replay by using a replay method and transmitting TCP packet information to be continued, the server streams the contents after the paused TCP packet in response to the request(S117).
