Abstract
In this paper, the latest developments in the provision of streaming multimedia over the internet are discussed. We emphasize on the newly appearing HTTP adaptive streaming approach that threatens the reign of RTSP, as regards the support of real time media streaming, and we examine the possible uses of each of the two protocols with respect to the different transmission needs, as these are seen from the transport protocol view point.
