HTTP Live Streaming (also known as HLS) is an HTTP-based media streaming communications protocol implemented by Apple Inc. as part of its QuickTime, Safari, OS X, and iOS software.
This definition taken from the HLS wikipedia page.
It works in a similar way to DASH by breaking the content into chunks and serving it one segment at a time, potentially with no final chunk.
