Content creators, distributors, consumers and ISPs are equally disadvantaged with the status quo, including disparate and incompatible implementations. Swirl has the ambitious goal to enable everyone to create, distribute, and consume static and streaming secure content from anywhere, of any size, via browser, smartphone/tablet, via home networks or commercial CDNs and routers, using open protocols, software, and an open development approach. SWIRL's Project lead Dave Cottlehuber (Austria) is an active member of the Peer-to-Peer Streaming Protocol (PPSP) working group and aims at a fully compliant implementation of the upcoming PPSPP standard.
