Hi Team,

As per the documentation, It is clear that on each mediasoup worker 400-600 consumers can be created. It is also said that on each worker as many as routers can also be created.

Now, is it possible to have only 4 routers being created on 4 of the workers and create all the 400-600 consumers on each of the router and have all the consumers that a four core machine can handle into the four routers?

I don’t properly understand your question, sorry. Depending on the CPU capacity a single core (so a single mediasoup `Worker`) can handle up to 400-600 `Consumers`. Whether you have those 400-600 `Consumers` a single mediasoup `Router` or distributed into N `Routers` is not important.

Hi,

This answers my question. Now i will have number of routers same as the number of workers and distribute the consumers on the routers accordingly.

Thanks for the support:smiley:
