Streaming Servers: It is server which is more powerful in-terms of RAM, ROM, Processing & Disk spaces. These server kept the video/audio files and able to sent the video/audio in form of small packet(in right order) to the client machine bypass the webserver.
Cleint Machhine Request the video/video to webserver => webserver sent the request to streaming server => Streaming server send the response in form of small packet to the clinet machine (By Passing the WebServer)
Why we need streaming server:
Web Server can re-send lost or damaged packets, and they allow randomly ordered packets to be reassembled later. This is convenient for downloading files and surfing the Web if Web traffic slows down or some of your packets disappear, you'll still get your file. But these protocols won't work as well for streaming media. With streaming media, data needs to arrive quickly and with all the pieces in the right order

Why we need streaming server:
- HTTP, FTP and TCP protocols send the data in form of packets and reassembled later means first download full data in browser then play. In this case user have to wait more time. where as in streaming server video playing and streaming simultaneouly.
- Streaming Server is more fast & better as compare to WebServer(Non-streaming Server).
- Different Streaming Server use different type of protocol to enhance their speead and performace.
