Support for RTC Publishing
Last updated: 2024-01-13 15:49:41
In order to improve publishing performance under poor network conditions, we have added support for RTC publishing in addition to the traditional RTMP protocol. This document compares the performance of publishing under different network conditions using the two protocols.
Note
For instructions on how to publish streams, please see Publishing from Camera.

Performance Under Normal and Poor Network Conditions

Test method

We simulated different network conditions at the publishing end and observed the playback effects (the streams were played over CDNs, and network conditions at the playback end were normal).

Parameter configuration

To prevent the use of different sources from affecting the results, we used V2TXLivePusher to publish the same video over RTMP and RTC. Video parameters:

Parameter
Description
Frame rate
Frames rendered per second
Packet loss
A packet loss rate of 50% means that for every 10 data packets sent, five fail to arrive at their destination.
Latency
A latency of 200 ms indicates that data packets are delivered by the network only 200 ms after they are sent by the SDK.
Transfer speed cap
A transfer speed cap of 800 Kbps means that 800 KB of data can be sent per second at most.
Stutter rate
Stutter occurs if the interval between the rendering of two consecutive frames exceeds 200 ms. Stutter rate is the total stuttering time divided by the total playback time.
