vodiov
Vodiov is a fictional term used in hypothetical discussions of multimedia protocol design to describe a synchronized transport mechanism for video and audio streams in distributed systems. Though it has no official specification, vodiov is used in academic exercises and design fiction to explore how tight synchronization can be achieved under variable network conditions.
Origin and usage: The term arose in online forums and speculative design writings in the 2020s as
Concept and architecture: In the vodiov model, a single stream carries paired audio and video payloads with
Applications and implications: In theoretical studies, vodiov helps compare synchronization costs across architectures, such as client-server
