Hi everyone. I’m new to mediasoup, I was reading about doc but couldn’t understand this part.

Depending on the host CPU capabilities, a mediasoup C++ subprocess can typically handle over ~500 consumers in total.

Now when we talk about host CPU is the host of mediasoup server ? or the host I’m deploying app ? thanks.
