This page focuses on the Engineering aspects of the Netscape period.

Netscape's first Audio Server, and our entry into real time serving - streaming audio.
We built the server, the media player (plugin for Netscape & Microsoft browsers), the editor and even a Media Proxy server.  All the while encouraging partners to adopt this technology over Microsoft's and Real Networks.
Established a standard streaming protocol - RTSP, which was submitted to the IETF, in collaboration with our competitors - Microsoft, Real Networks and others.
