Hi I have a question about single Router consumers limit, I’m sorry if this question has been mentioned, because I went through almost all topic about pipetorouter and didn’t find a clear answer, here is my question: We know that a Router can support about 500 consumers. For example, I have a Rout…

Router have no consumer limit, it is worker which have the limitation. Now 500 is for a normal CPU it differse between machines so if you have a heavy machine then you can support more than 500 per worker. Lets assume it is 500. The other thing is 500 is sum of producers + consumers, not 100% sure…

Thank you so much for your quick reply, yes, I know that “Depending on the host CPU capabilities, a mediasoup C++ subprocess can typically handle over ~500 consumers in total.”, thank you for the reminder。 “As for question 2 on router 1 you will have 501 consumers after piping.” this is exactly th…

Sorry it will be 600, you are piping 100 producers, so 500+100 = 600, I was assuming that 1 producer was being piped. You must be disappointed after hearing this :slight_smile:

Yes, Haha, this will make it a lot harder to scale mediasoup, because a producer in a Worker whose processing capacity has reached its upper limit will be consumed at any time.Is there any good solution?

You will have to take some measurements before hand to tackle that. You must not use worker to its full capacity leave some space for sudden spikes. There can be multiple solutions to this as per you usecase.

Ok, thank you very much for your reply, I now have a clear direction and know what to do, thank you again and wish you a happy life.

No problem, there are some resources on this platform about scaling, you can search and read through them. I can share you the ones which I followed in some time. You must read them and understand them before starting working on scalability otherwise you may end up on dead end.

Ok, thanks for the reminder, I’m reading some topics related to scaling, and there is indeed a lot of work to be done, requiring careful planning. :innocent:

Thank you very much, these materials are like treasures to me, I will read and understand carefully, I am lucky to join this warm community, I am new to this great product of mediasoup, but I will study hard and Grow and help others in the future. Like you! :yum:

Deployment & Scalability

Here is the list of topics I followed, they cover scalability deeply enough to get started:

CPU/Bandwidth results for many-to-many rooms in production. Off Topic

Between 15 rooms with users ranging anywhere from 1 → 11 (currently). Totaling a maximum of 53 viewers, and 27 broadcasters. Results may differ with users just sending audio broadcasts, but setup uses pipetransporting and all sorts for maximum scalability. On 5 servers, CPU usages is at about 2-20%overall CPU usage as displayed in the picture. SPECS: 4vCore @ 8GB RAM (HDD who cares) and 1Gbp/s networking unmetered. [image] Due to my setup and rooms expanding past a single core’s ability,…

How to manage rooms, workers etc when using multiple server/node clustering? Off Topic

I am using node clusters to divide loads on all cores of cpus, doing the same for socket io using io redis adapter to distribute sockets between cores. Socket will be connected to any of the cores. I am having issue here which is user’s socket gets connected to core 1, while room is on core 2 and workers, producers etc all references are on core 2 as well, so socket can’t access all that stuff of the room he want to join in or to perform any other action because they are on separate process. I…

access workers, routers, transports objects from one node process to another mediasoup libraries

Is there any way I can access workers, routers, transports objects from one node process to another? I was thinking that may be I can construct object of workers, routers, transports from their respective process ids? I am actually planning to make multiple processes of my app i.e run on all cores of my machine. Now that my workers, routers, transports instances are on one of the processes and I need to access them in another process of my node app? Is their any way I can do that? EDIT: You …

Mediasoup Scaling resource mediasoup libraries

I’ve been trying to wrap my head around mediasoup scaling and combing through the resources available to understand the constraints. I put this together for my own understanding but if it’s correct, I hope it might also be useful to other people who join the community. I’d appreciate any feedback and also happy to refine this into something more complete, maybe add some diagrams if it’s interesting to people. This information is not the result of benchmarking myself, instead this is a result of…

Maximum number of consumers per worker is 500 w.r.t CPU? mediasoup libraries

It is mentioned in the official docs here: mediasoup :: Scalability and in discourse topic as well here: A room with 100 participants Does this mean that there is hard limit of 500 for a worker or does this mean that if I use high end server then the same worker can handle more than 500 consumers? I am using AWS instance g4dn.8xlarge which is a high end server and it has 32 cores. I am using 1 worker per call so each call has it’s own worker. I am showing max 20 streams to each participant so…
