The real-time streaming technology proposed by the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) is expected to be established as an international standard, enabling live Internet broadcasting services anywhere in the world without any loss of real-time data traffic.

ETRI announced on the 10th that the Information-Centric Networking (ICN) technology standard document for real-time video streaming, contributed through the IETF, the 'International De facto Standardization Organization' related to Internet technology, was registered as an official standard document at the end of last month.

The Name Resolution Service (NRS) design guidelines in Information-Centric Networking, an established international standard, are a technology that allows viewers to receive uninterrupted live broadcasting services even when a presenter moves while broadcasting.

It can be said to be the core standard for real-time video streaming services.

By utilizing established standards, it is possible to support live broadcasting services of YouTubers who travel around the world without real-time data traffic loss.

This standard was first proposed by ETRI Dr. Hong Jeong-ha and Dr. Yoo Tae-wan at the IETF international standardization meeting held in July 2016, and was laterewei) and Ericsson, and completed approval as an international standard document in just five years.

Along with the establishment of this standard, ETRI has also released the key technologies of the standard as open source so that anyone can utilize them through the research institute's Github homepage.

ETRI Standards Research Division Director Kang Shin-gak stated, "This achievement is significant in that it strengthens Korea's international standardization position in the field of information technology networking, which is evolving into a technology applicable to areas like IoT and 5G. In the future, this technology is expected to be applicable to real-time video services such as drones, high-definition cameras, and car dashcams."

Kim Hyung-jun, Director of the Intelligence Convergence Research Center at ETRI, also stated, "ETRI has recently made significant efforts to strengthen its factual standardization activities. This achievement is the result of the research team's efforts to strengthen factual standardization activities by focusing on linking open source and technology development, user needs, and the usability of developed standards."
