Alessandro RosandGitHub b5b63d02fc support reading and publishing with Media-over-QUIC (#5815)
Media-over-QUIC is a streaming protocol built upon cutting edge
protocols (QUIC, HTTP3) and browser APIs (WebTransport, WebCodecs).
It's slightly faster than WebRTC, has an advanced data recovery
mechanism (placed at the frame level and not at the packet level), it
supports additional codecs (FLAC) and is less complicated to route.

RTMP is a protocol that allows to read and publish streams. It has been expanded to support modern codecs (Enhanced RTMP) and it supports encryption, read RTMP-specific features. Streams can be read from the server by using the URL:

rtmp://localhost/mystream

Some clients that can read with RTMP are FFmpeg, GStreamer and VLC.
