Isn’t streaming done usually via UDP?

It’s typically all HTTP requests; nowadays with HTTP3 we are back to using UDP, but apart from real-time video conferencing etc I don’t believe many streaming services use anything other than HTTP.

HTTP over TCP to cache nodes.

Fire up the developer tools / network view and go watch a Netflix video; try pausing, etc. It is incredibly straightforward.
