A stream is an abstraction of the information that is transported in between information sources and sinks. A stream is a collection of data, which is sequentially ordered, normally with respect to time. In the context of multimedia a digital representation of data is also assumed. source: EU-P103 domain: General usage: EU-P103
An internet standard transport level protocol that provides the reliable, full duplex, stream service on which many application protocols depend. TCP allows a process on one machine to send a stream of data to a process on another. It is connection-oriented in the sense that before transmitting data, participants must establish a connection. Software implementing TCP usually resides in the operating system and uses the IP protocol to transmit information across the Internet. It is possible to terminate (shut down) one direction of flow across a TCP connection, leaving a one-way (simplex) connection. The Internet protocol suite is often referred to as TCP/IP because TCP is one of the two most fundamental protocols.
A kernel aggregate created by connecting STREAMS components, resulting from an application of the STREAMS mechanism. The primary components are the Stream head, the driver, and zero or more pushable modules between the Stream head and driver.

Streams are in the form of video or audio which are transferred usually on the Internet in real-time or encoded on DVD discs.
A stream is defined as one user hearing one scene in a VHost show. For example: If a person hears 5 different scenes, then 5 streams have been used. If a person hears the same scene 10 times, then 10 streams have been used. Streams are measured by counting the VHost audio files which are "streamed" by Oddcast's servers over the Internet. If you place a single VHost scene on a web-page with 10,000 page-views, you should expect to use 10,000 streams.
Data of a distinct type sent from server to client at a rate defined by the server. For a typical video broadcast, for example, one stream could consist of the video signal, one stream could consist of the audio data, and one stream could contain the closed caption information. In most cases, each stream is served at the rate that it should be rendered by the client.

A hardware resource on a processor that issues instructions for and holds the state of one thread at a time. A stream may be thought of as a portion of the processor hardware; each processor contains 128 streams. Each stream has a context in physical registers and is in any one of three execution states: unreserved, reserved, or active. When active, a stream issues instructions to the processor, which executes instructions from all active streams one at a time in no particular order. When not active, a stream has no impact on the processor's performance.
