MSS is Microsoft Smooth Streaming - a streaming protocol typically used to stream adaptive bit rate media (ABR) streams in the OTT world.
ABR breaks allows the client request different bit rate versions of a each chunk of a video depending on the current network connection and the device type. See more info:
SSPK is the client porting kit for MSS.

Now, I know that MSS means "Microsoft Smooth Streaming". the protocol for media delivery online. MPEG-DASH and Apple HLS also are used for this.
