Open & standard.

Unlike all those other tools, Swirl is both open source and open development, built on an open standard, with peer-to-peer scalability and fault-tolerance baked in from the beginning.

The application is based on the IETF RFC7574 Peer-to-Peer Streaming Peer Protocol, known as PPSP normally. The protocol includes innovative features for fast streaming, security and performance, and is compatible with current network infrastructure without rearchitecting or forklift upgrades.
