Bandwidth Considerations
Bandwidth Usage and Recommendations
Fig. 79: Bridge settings without background bandwidth
You can see that the bridge has been set to not use any background bandwidth during working hours and to
use 4 Mbps during non-work hours. Here is what the corresponding metrics look like and they confirm those
settings.

On-demand bandwidth is the highest priority and will utilize all the bandwidth of real-time and background
settings. When something is requested from the bridge that has not been uploaded yet, it will be imme-
diately pulled from the bridge and sent to the client. This is the case for live video. Our cloud will also
transcode the video into other formats depending on the client’s request. Live streaming has a couple
seconds latency. Video conversion adds additional latency for live viewing. Our goal is to keep live streaming
within 2–3 seconds and live stream with video conversion within 8–10 seconds.
