That makes sense because wowza is a real streaming server while the other flavour is pseudo streaming. With real streaming, you are simply delivering the content (bandwidth) "on demand" and no more, no less, whereas with pseudo, you stream from a end-user defined point and just diss up the content, regardless of where the user is up to in watching, so you're always "wasting" bandwidth unless a user watches the entire video from beginning to end non-stop.
