# Stream depots

Stream depots A depot used with streams and stream clients. A stream depot has structured branching, unlike the free-form branching of other depot types. See also 'classic depot' and 'graph depot'. contain streams An enhanced type of branch with a dedicated view for clients of the stream (see 'stream view') and built-in rules that determine how changes flow across the stream depot (see 'stream hierarchy'). A stream specification defines a stream. In P4V, stream specs are visible in the Streams Graph and the Streams tab.. Streams are special branches that include hierarchy and policy. Like local depots, stream depots reside on the P4 Server.
