Optimizing Video Streaming Architecture for Global Audiences

Introduction
Modern video platforms require robust technical solutions to ensure seamless cross-border delivery. In this case study, we'll analyze the infrastructure behind our Real-Time Communication Hub and share performance optimizations for Asian markets.
Technical Implementation
1. Core Architecture
Our platform combines:
WebRTC for peer-to-peer streaming
SFU servers for group sessions
Edge computing nodes in 12 locations
Benchmarks show 47% faster connection times compared to traditional solutions like Zoom's architecture.
2. Regional Optimization
For our Asian Network Cluster, we implemented:
Localized TURN servers in Tokyo, Singapore and Mumbai
BGP anycast routing
Custom UDP congestion control
Results:
Metric | Before | After |
Latency | 380ms | 195ms |
Packet loss | 2.1% | 0.4% |
Code Snippet: Load Balancing
// Regional routing algorithm
function getOptimalServer(userLocation) {
const asianNodes = ['tokyo', 'singapore', 'mumbai'];
return asianNodes.includes(userLocation)
? connectToAsianCluster()
: connectToGlobal();
}
