In a public comment to millicast recent post about simulcast, Chris Allen, CEO of infrared mentioned that they have been supporting ABR with WebRTC in their Red5 Pro Product for a long time. While his claim is valid, and many in the streaming industry use a variation of what they do, there are two very important distinctions that needs to be made between ABR and simulcast. We made the distinction about latency quickly in our presentation at streaming media west last year, however possibly too quickly, and we never really explain the distinction about end-to-end encryption, so we though we should dedicate a full post this time around. WebRTC with simulcast is the only way to achieve the lowest latency possible, and real end-to-end security, with a higher flexibility than DRM can provide.
