Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH), also known as MPEG-DASH, is an adaptive bitrate streaming technique that enables high quality streaming of media content over the Internet delivered from conventional HTTP web servers. Similar to Apple's HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) solution, MPEG-DASH works by breaking the content into a sequence of small segments, which are served over HTTP. An early HTTP web server based streaming system called SProxy was developed and deployed in the Hewlett Packard Laboratories in 2006.{{Cite book |last1=Chen |first1=Songqing |last2=Shen |first2=Bo |last3=Tan |first3=Wai-tian |last4=Wee |first4=Susie |last5=Zhang |first5=Xiaodong |title=2006 IEEE International Conference on Multimedia and Expo |chapter=A Case for Internet Streaming via Web Servers |date=2006-07-09 |chapter-url=https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/4037057 |pages=2145–2148 |doi=10.1109/ICME.2006.262660 |isbn=1-4244-0367-7 |issn=1945-7871 |eissn=1945-788X |s2cid=9202042 }}{{Cite journal |last1=Chen |first1=Songqing |last2=Shen |first2=Bo |last3=Wee |first3=Susie |last4=Zhang |first4=Xiaodong |date=2007-07-23 |title=SProxy: A Caching Infrastructure to Support Internet Streaming |url=https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/4276704 |journal=IEEE Transactions on Multimedia |volume=9 |issue=5 |pages=1062–1072 |doi=10.1109/TMM.2007.898943 |s2cid=870854 |issn=1520-9210|citeseerx=10.1.1.74.4838 }} It showed how to use HTTP range requests to break the content into small segments. SProxy shows the effectiveness of segment based streaming, gaining best Internet penetration due to the wide deployment of firewalls, and reducing the unnecessary traffic transmission if a user chooses to terminate the streaming session earlier before reaching the end. Each segment contains a short interval of playback time of content that is potentially many hours in duration, such as a movie or the live broadcast of a sport event. The content is made available at a variety of different bit rates, i.e., alternative segments encoded at different bit rates covering aligned short intervals of playback time. While the content is being played back by an MPEG-DASH client, the client uses a bit rate adaptation (ABR) algorithm{{cite web | url=https://github.com/Dash-Industry-Forum/dash.js/wiki/ABR-Logic| title= ABR Logic| website= GitHub}} to automatically select the segment with the highest bit rate possible that can be downloaded in time for playback without causing stalls or re-buffering events in the playback.{{cite web | url=https://people.cs.umass.edu/~ramesh/Site/PUBLICATIONS_files/abr-dashjs.pdf| title= From Theory to Practice: Improving Bitrate Adaptation in the DASH Reference Player, by Spiteri, Sitaraman and Sparacio, ACM Multimedia Systems Conference, June 2018.}} The current MPEG-DASH reference client dash.js{{Cite web|title=dash.js JavaScript Reference Client Landing Page|url=https://reference.dashif.org/dash.js/|access-date=2020-08-28|website=reference.dashif.org}} offers both buffer-based (BOLA{{cite journal | title= BOLA: Near-optimal bitrate adaptation for online videos.|arxiv = 1601.06748|last1 = Spiteri|first1 = Kevin|last2 = Urgaonkar|first2 = Rahul|last3 = Sitaraman|first3 = Ramesh K.|year = 2020|volume=28|pages=1698–1711|doi = 10.1109/TNET.2020.2996964|s2cid = 219792107|journal=IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking| issue=4 }}) and hybrid (DYNAMIC) bit rate adaptation algorithms. Thus, an MPEG-DASH client can seamlessly adapt to changing network conditions and provide high quality playback with few stalls or re-buffering events.

MPEG-DASH is the first adaptive bit-rate HTTP-based streaming solution that is an international standard.{{cite news |title=MPEG ratifies its draft standard for DASH |publisher=MPEG |url=http://mpeg.chiariglione.org/meetings/geneva11-1/geneva_press.htm |date=2011-12-02 |access-date=2012-08-26 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120820233136/http://mpeg.chiariglione.org/meetings/geneva11-1/geneva_press.htm |archive-date=2012-08-20 }} MPEG-DASH should not be confused with a transport protocol — the transport protocol that MPEG-DASH uses depends on which version of HTTP is used: TCP over HTTP and HTTP/2, or UDP over HTTP/3. MPEG-DASH uses existing HTTP web server infrastructure that is used for delivery of essentially all World Wide Web content. It allows devices like Internet-connected televisions, TV set-top boxes, desktop computers, smartphones, tablets, etc. to receive multimedia content (video, TV, radio, etc.) delivered via the Internet, coping with variable Internet receiving conditions. Standardizing an adaptive streaming solution is meant to provide confidence to the market that the solution can be adopted for universal deployment, compared to similar but more proprietary solutions like Smooth Streaming by Microsoft, or HDS by Adobe. Unlike HDS, or Smooth Streaming, DASH is codec-agnostic, which means it can use content encoded with any coding format, such as H.265, H.264, VP9, etc.{{cite web|title=MPEG-DASH vs. Apple HLS vs. Microsoft Smooth Streaming vs. Adobe HDS|url=https://bitmovin.com/mpeg-dash-vs-apple-hls-vs-microsoft-smooth-streaming-vs-adobe-hds/|access-date=3 June 2016|date=2015-03-29}}

Standardization

MPEG-DASH technology was developed under MPEG. Work on DASH started in 2010; it became a Draft International Standard in January 2011, and an International Standard in November 2011.{{Cite web|url=https://www.iso.org/standard/57623.html|title=ISO/IEC 23009-1:2012|website=ISO}} The MPEG-DASH standard was published in April, 2012 but has been revised in 2019 and then once more in 2022 as [https://www.iso.org/obp/ui#iso:std:iso-iec:23009:-1:ed-5:v1:en].

DASH is a technology related to Adobe Systems HTTP Dynamic Streaming, Apple Inc. HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) and Microsoft Smooth Streaming. DASH is based on Adaptive HTTP streaming (AHS) in 3GPP Release 9 and on HTTP Adaptive Streaming (HAS) in Open IPTV Forum Release 2.ETSI 3GPP [http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/html-info/26247.htm 3GPP TS 26.247; Transparent end-to-end packet-switched streaming service (PSS); Progressive Download and Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (3GP-DASH)][http://www.oipf.tv/live/oipf/release_2.html Open IPTV Forum Solution Specification Volume 2a – HTTP Adaptive Streaming V2.1] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111009063030/http://www.oipf.tv/live/oipf/release_2.html |date=2011-10-09 }} As part of their collaboration with MPEG, 3GPP Release 10 has adopted DASH (with specific codecs and operating modes) for use over wireless networks.

The DASH Industry Forum (DASH-IF){{Cite web|url=https://dashif.org/|title=DASH Industry Forum | Catalyzing the adoption of MPEG-DASH|website=dashif.org}} further promotes and catalyzes the adoption of MPEG-DASH and helps transition it from a specification into a real business. It consists of major streaming and media companies, including Microsoft, Netflix, Google, Ericsson, Samsung, Adobe, etc. and creates guidelines on the usage of DASH for different use cases in practice.

MPEG-DASH is integrated in other standards, e.g. MPEG-DASH is supported in HbbTV (as of Version 1.5).{{Cite web|url=http://www.hbbtv.org/pages/about_hbbtv/HbbTV-specification-1-5.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140703212343/http://www.hbbtv.org/pages/about_hbbtv/HbbTV-specification-1-5.pdf|url-status=dead|title=HbbTV Specification 1.5|archive-date=July 3, 2014}}

Overview

DASH is an adaptive bitrate streaming technology where a multimedia file is partitioned into one or more segments and delivered to a client using HTTP.{{Cite web|url=https://mpeg.chiariglione.org/technologies/mpeg-b/mpb-dash/index.htm|title=Technologies | MPEG|website=mpeg.chiariglione.org}} A media presentation description (MPD) describes segment information (timing, URL, media characteristics like video resolution and bit rates), and can be organized in different ways such as SegmentList, SegmentTemplate, SegmentBase and SegmentTimeline, depending on the use case. Segments can contain any media data, however the specification provides specific guidance and formats for use with two types of containers: ISO base media file format (e.g. MP4 file format) or MPEG-2 Transport Stream.

DASH is audio/video codec agnostic. One or more representations (i.e., versions at different resolutions or bit rates) of multimedia files are typically available, and selection can be made based on network conditions, device capabilities and user preferences, enabling adaptive bitrate streaming[http://www.mmsys.org/?q=node/43#mmt1 3GPP Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP – Standards and Design Principles] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160805222811/http://www.mmsys.org/?q=node%2F43#mmt1 |date=2016-08-05 }} by T. Stockhammer and QoE (Quality of Experience) fairness.{{Cite web|url=https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&citation_for_view=ZDbuOE4AAAAJ:hqOjcs7Dif8C|title=Towards Network-wide QoE Fairness using OpenFlow-assisted Adaptive Video Streaming|website=scholar.google.com}} DASH standard does not specify the adaptive bitrate streaming (ABR) logic.{{Cite journal|title=A Survey on Bitrate Adaptation Schemes for Streaming Media Over HTTP|first1=Abdelhak|last1=Bentaleb|first2=Bayan|last2=Taani|first3=Ali C.|last3=Begen|first4=Christian|last4=Timmerer|first5=Roger|last5=Zimmermann|date=January 21, 2019|journal=IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials|volume=21|issue=1|pages=562–585|doi=10.1109/COMST.2018.2862938|s2cid=67867085 |doi-access=free}} DASH is also agnostic to the underlying application layer protocol. Thus, DASH can be used with any protocol, e.g., DASH over CCN.{{Cite web|url=https://dash.itec.aau.at/dash-over-ccn/|title=DASH over ICN/CCN | ITEC – Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP}}
