Abstract
Methods, apparatuses, and embodiments related to streaming live video. A celebrity plans to live stream an interaction with a fan to a large number of her fans. The celebrity uses a device to capture and stream live video to her fans. The celebrity selects a fan and begins to interact with the fan, who uses a device to live stream a question. To enable a more natural interaction, the celebrity utilizes a platform with reduced latency of communication. With other platforms, latencies of between 6 to 30 seconds may occur in interactions between the celebrity and the fan. The platform utilizes one or more techniques to achieve reduced latency, such as not performing error checks on the live streamed data, not reordering packets while they are being relayed between devices, etc. A TCP tunnel that utilizes raw sockets is used to enable customized techniques for reducing communication latency.
