Answer 1

Darwin Streaming Server is for RTSP streaming. HLS is a streaming technology based on using HTTP server for hosting the content.

iPhone to iPhone video isn't well served by either technology. It's possible to use an iPhone camera to capture video, upload it to a server, package it for HLS and serve it to the client viewers. This is very high latency (around 10-30 seconds), so it's likely not suitable for you.

If you want 1-to-1 messaging, you're probably better off using a real-time system like RTP, which is what's used by FaceTime and video calling programs.
