Well, it's just a joke for any new technology, especially when it's new and there are some issues. However, it's really true for DASH today, at 2022.11, because we're really suffering while maintaining it.

But, DASH is becoming more and more popular protocol for live streaming, and we believe that all issues will be fixed in not very far future, so let's take a look about these issues.

In many networks, UDP is not available for WebRTC, so TCP is very important to make it highly reliable. SRS supports directly TCP transport for WebRTC, not TURN, which introduce a complex network layer and system. It also makes the LoadBalancer possible to forward TCP packets, because TCP is more stable than UDP for LoadBalancer.

Coroutines are core technologies for modern servers that significantly simplify the logic and facilitate maintenance. SRT is a new streaming protocol that is gradually taking over from RTMP. With its own I/O framework, SRT can mature only by becoming coroutine-native, the first and crucial step of SRS 5.0.

On the way...
