    Streaming data means data that is readable or obtainable only in a steady stream or in portions of sequential data. For example, a file's data arriving through modem is considered streaming data because you only get access to the data in a sequential fashion, as it becomes available. A file already completely transferred is no longer streaming data – you can access the entire file in a random access fashion.
