• support half closed http clients
• receiving udp-multicast, including rtp, simultaneously with different interfaces
• the use of various TCP Congestion Control algorithms depending on the port to which the client came and the URL the client's request
• instantaneous sending new client data from the ring buffer in order to minimize waiting times start playback
• sending any additional http headers in requests and responses
