[3] HTTP-based streaming protocols such as HLS and DASH typically use a segment-based approach.
This approach increases channel change times and introduces additional latency.
HESP leverages a frame-based streaming approach, which does not require a trade-off between live latency and channel switching time.
[5] HESP requires implementation in the packager and player, and support for range requests and Chunked transfer encoding (CTE) in the CDN.
It consists of streaming vendors and media companies, including Synamedia, THEO Technologies, G-Core, EZDRM, Mainstreaming, NativeWaves, and Hoki.
