LiveKit Community

Hey <@U027V3P9UQL> at this time, LK open source does not support server cascading. Could you say more about your use case?

wanted to create a globally distributed system
where multiple sfu's talk to each other and provide lowest latency possible to users

but the crux is lowest possible latency
sfu -&gt; user and vice versa

This is how LiveKit Cloud works, is there a particular reason to not use it?

no no 
i was asking particularly about cascading

in livekit cloud all participants in one room connects to one particular sfu right?

multiple rooms can be distributed across region

No, they all connect to the nearest edge with LiveKit Cloud

Yes, I believe we use the term “relayed” instead of cascaded

got it
maybe the term is different

ill look into it, if there's any doubt ill ask you again

thanks :raised_hands:

where can i find docs for low apis to relay media from sfu to other?
for something like this?

Hey <@U027V3P9UQL>, we do not offer low-level APIs to control the relaying in the open source SFU. Cloud is a distributed mesh network, the open source SFU is a single-homed SFU.

The part that does the distributed mesh is not open source today. But we do have an enterprise license for companies that are interested in deploying their own Cloud.

got it
thanks for clarifying <@U01KZ61GV5Z> :pray:
