Abacast's distributed streaming technology enables Internet broadcasters and their service providers to stream to a virtually unlimited audience at a fraction of today's bandwidth and server costs. It harnesses unused listener capacity to serve other nearby listeners. This is transparent to end users.

Distributed Streaming

Distributed streaming uses a central server to communicate with each client. However, the actual stream may be provided by either the server itself or, more likely, by another client who simply redirects the stream. The Abacast server continually monitors the network, and changes the distributed streaming hierarchy as necessary to optimize user connections. If a client serving downstream users disconnects, the Abacast server immediately redirects those users to other clients, resulting in a seamless, drop-free user experience.
