- Evaluation of HTTP/3 for Media Streaming -- Project Advanced Web Technologies at TU Berlin SoSe23
- Prerequisites
- Getting started
- Facebook / RUSH
- Twitch / WARP
- Cisco / QUICR
The following install instructions for WARP and RUSH and demos have only been verified to be working on Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS, your milage may vary.
- clone this repository using
git clone https://github.com/ArckyPN/tu-berlin-awt-pj-ss-23-http3.git cd tu-berlin-awt-pj-ss-23-http3/- follow the install guides for the respective demos, WARP, RUSH, QUICR
Reliable - unreliable - Streaming Protocol (RUSH) is a MOQ protocol proposition designed for realtime and ultra low-latency live streaming applications by Facebook. It uses a modified version of the proprietary webtransport-go package from Adrian Cable as the relay HTTP/3 server and provides a streamer and viewer client implementation as HTML websites.
cd rush/server/scripts/./create-server-certs.sh(bash script)cd ../src/go run main.go- the server should be running now and confirm it by saying:
Launching WebTransport server at: :4443 - open a new terminal in the project root
python rush/client/start-http-server-cross-origin-isolated.py- in the root:
./chrome.sh rush(bash script)this launches chrome with both relevant pages open (make sure to closing all previous running chrome instances before running this) - click start on the encoder website and copy the StreamID
- paste the StreamID on the Player website and click start
If you are having any issues to refer to the original repositories, found below.
WARP is a MOQ protocol proposition designed for realtime and low-latency live streaming applications by Twitch. It uses a modified version of the official webtransport-go package from quic-go by Luke Curley and provides a viewer client implementation as HTML website.
cd warp-go/cert/./generate(bash script), generates the TLS certificatecd ../media/- place a video file of your choice in this directory, called
source.mp4 ./generate(bash script), generates dash segmentscd ../server/go run main.go- the server should be running now and confirm it by saying:
listening on :4443 - open a new terminal in the root of this project
cd warp-go/player/npm run installnpm run serve- in the root:
./chrome.sh warp(bash script)this launches chrome with the relevant page open (make sure to closing all previous running chrome instances before running this) - you are now able to stream your video using warp

cd warp-rustsudo docker-compose up --build- in the root:
./chrome.sh warp(bash script)this launches chrome with the relevant page open (make sure to closing all previous running chrome instances before running this) - you are now able to stream your video using warp
Since this repository no longer exists in its original state, please refer to the README.md found in this repository. When I ran this, the WebTransport connection would frequently drop out and was never able to be stable for more than 10s.
QUICR by Cisco has been designed to be a general purpose transport protocol for wide range of applications on various latency levels, mainly for real-time applications, like video conferencing, interactive live streaming and multiplayer video games. It uses libquicr C++ API based on the quicrq library and runs in a dedicated Swift macOS client program.
The install instructions are quite extensive and to preventing making errors regurgitating those, please refer to the original repository for install instructions.
Please note, I was personally unable to get this to run on the provided MacBook.
