##### BOXCAST FLOW

# The patented streaming protocol you can count on

### Broadcast-grade reliability for high-performance streaming on any network.

## The smartest, safest way to stream

Don't let network issues stand between you and your viewers. BoxCast Flow is our patented streaming protocol designed for ultimate reliability. Integrated into the [BoxCaster](/content/platform/boxcaster/index.html), [Spark](/content/platform/spark/index.html), [Pro](/content/platform/boxcaster-pro/index.html), and [Broadcaster app](/content/platform/broadcaster-mobile-app/index.html), it powers thousands of successful live streams every week with unmatched stability.

### Adaptive recovery

Small network issues can cause packet loss, which means your video data arrives at the cloud out of order (or not at all). BoxCast Flow's adaptive recovery and content-aware forward error correction retransmit data to fill in the gaps — so your viewers won't see any buffering or pixelization.

### Link quality adjustment

BoxCast Flow’s built-in link quality adjustment automatically adapts to changing internet conditions. It decreases your outgoing bitrate to ride through rough patches and increases your bitrate (and video quality) when your network is steady.

### Security

With built-in obfuscation, BoxCast Flow protects your video data from being decoded by unknown third parties, ensuring you’re in control of your streaming content. It also prevents network firewalls and traffic shapers from filtering your content based on known streaming protocols.

## Protocol diversity at its best

While many protocols rely solely on stream connections (like RTMP) or datagram transports (like RTP), they often struggle with buffering or artifacts. BoxCast Flow solves this through protocol diversity. By intelligently using both transport types, it optimizes your stream for every scenario, delivering a flawless viewing experience without interruptions.

## Customizable control

BoxCast Flow is incredibly reliable, and BoxCast Flow Control adds another layer of protection. By choosing exactly how much latency your stream needs, you gain the ability to broadcast with confidence on any network.
