how the agent registration takes place?

Thanks for reaching out, jeevan. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
The agent registration process in LiveKit works as follows: 1. When you run your agent program (e.g.,
myagent.py start
), it connects to the LiveKit server and registers itself as a "worker" via a persistent WebSocket connection. 2. Once registered, the worker remains on standby, waiting for rooms (sessions with end-users) to be created. 3. During this standby period, the worker exchanges availability and capacity information with the LiveKit server automatically, enabling proper load balancing of incoming requests. 4. When an end-user connects to a room, the LiveKit server selects an available worker and sends it information about that session. 5. The first worker to accept that request will instantiate your program and join the room as an agent. 6. A single worker can host multiple instances of your agent simultaneously, running each in its own process for isolation. This process ensures that your agent is properly managed and dispatched to rooms where it is needed. Sources: Anatomy of an Agent | LiveKit Docs | Anatomy of an Agent | LiveKit Docs | LiveKit Docs

how do i configure the number of instances for agent on a worker?

I'm sorry, but I don't have the information you need at the moment. If you would like a member of the LiveKit team to respond, please ask your question in one of the other channels.

Can I Host multiple instances (python myagent.py start) as well? And they all will be able to register as workers and each of them will be hosting separately? I want to understand the load balancing.
