# Architecture
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In order to provide its features, _MediaMTX_ performs the following network interactions:
|
|
|
|
- It interacts with any external source defined in the configuration, as a client, pulling streams.
|
|
- It exposes a series of servers that allow clients to publish and read streams with several protocols.
|
|
- It exposes a playback server that allows to read streams stored on disk.
|
|
- It exposes a series of administrative services.
|
|
|
|
Internally, the service revolves around these components:
|
|
|
|
- A path manager, that is in charge of managing paths, performing authentication and linking clients to paths.
|
|
- Paths. Each path contains a stream, which is provided by a single publisher or by a single external source, and is then broadcasted to any reader.
|
|
- A recorder, in charge of storing streams to disks.
|
|
|
|
Everything is controlled through configuration parameters, defined in the configuration file or in environment variables.
|
|
|
|
Furthermore, the server can be configured to interact with an identity server in order to perform authentication.
