"Windows Media Services 9 Series" features

Fast Recovery
Virtually eliminates packet corruption and interruption over high latency network connections—for example wireless and satellite—using local packet correction. This ensures an uninterrupted viewing experience.

Fast Cache
Provides an always-on playback experience by streaming content to the player's cache as fast as the network will allow, reducing the likelihood of an interruption in play due to network issues.

Advanced Fast Start
Fast Start delivers an instant-on playback experience by eliminating buffering time. When a viewer connects to a stream, the first few seconds of data are sent using the maximum available bandwidth, so playback can begin as soon as possible. Advanced Fast Start adds to these existing Fast Start capabilities by allowing Windows Media Player to begin playing content as soon as its buffer receives a minimum amount of data, which further reduces the amount of time a user must wait to begin receiving the stream.

Fast Reconnect
Automatically restores live or on-demand client-to-server and server-to-server connections if disconnected during a broadcast, ensuring an uninterrupted viewing experience.
