Supported webcasting technologies
Most CDN's let you buy separate packages and bundles for each streaming protocol. Some even charge you extra for statistics or for High Definition support. Other CDN's limit the number of streams or bit rates. Some CDNs don't even offer true streaming protocols support. Not with StreamZilla: a professional CDN should be all-inclusive:
