What is RTMP?

Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) is a proprietary protocol developed by Adobe for streaming audio, video, and data over the internet. It's commonly used for live streaming and video playback, especially when low latency is crucial. While its use has declined somewhat with the rise of more modern protocols like HLS and DASH, it remains relevant in some contexts.
