Realtime Interactive Streaming Emulator (RISE)

RISE stands for Realtime Interactive Streaming Emulator.

RISE is an end-to-end, high-performance Rust-based testbed for this emerging paradigm that enables instantaneous two-way interactions with diverse streaming traffic. Specifically, RISE supports bidirectional streaming, parallel flows, view-dependent streaming, tracking replay, and multiple transport protocols.

RISE implements ringmaster, a research-oriented WebRTC protocol focusing on streaming logic.

This RISE framework also integrates a novel QUIC datagram prioritization approach to optimize realtime interactive streaming by leveraging cross-directional dependency—a characteristic unique to realtime interactive streaming. Please read our MMAsia'25 paper for more details. Additionally, posoo/quinn-dg-priority is the QUIC library that extends the QUIC priority system to accommodate unreliable QUIC datagrams.
