to enable live streaming functionality.
• WebSockets: YouTube may use WebSockets to enable real-time communication between the client
and server.
• Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)/Transport Layer Security (TLS): YouTube uses SSL/TLS to establish
secure communication channels and protect data in transit.
• Domain Name System (DNS): YouTube uses DNS to translate domain names to IP addresses.
• Content Delivery Networks (CDNs): YouTube uses CDNs to optimize video streaming and reduce
latency.
• APIs: YouTube offers APIs for developers to interact with YouTube's video data, search
functionality, and user information, among other features.
It's important that the specific communication interfaces used by YouTube may vary based on its
various features and functionalities.
