'''Streaming''' is a generic term, which in simplistic terms means encoding or decoding data "on the fly." There are many different ways to send and receive streaming data. There are two ways to look at streaming -- from the client side (e.g. end user's software) and from the server side (e.g. a web server). There are also two kinds of basic streaming types: progressive streaming and packet streaming.
