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:

Code Snippet: Load Balancing

// Regional routing algorithm
function getOptimalServer(userLocation) {
  const asianNodes = ['tokyo', 'singapore', 'mumbai'];
  return asianNodes.includes(userLocation) 
    ? connectToAsianCluster() 
    : connectToGlobal();
}
