Summary
In this chapter, we looked at different low latency applications in different business areas. The goals were to understand how low latency applications impact businesses in different areas and the similarities that some of these applications share, such as the hardware requirements and optimization, software design, performance optimization, and different revolutionary technologies being used to achieve these performance requirements.
The first applications we looked at in detail were real-time, low latency, online video streaming applications. We discussed different concepts and investigated where high latencies come from, and how that affects performance and businesses. Finally, we discussed different technologies and solutions, and platforms that facilitate low latency video streaming applications to be a success.
The next applications we looked at had a lot of overlap with video streaming applications – offline and online video gaming applications. We introduced...
