We have a device that multi-casts live video in the LAN connected to AWS through VPN. We get the multicast video into Wowza by running a local ffmpeg process that takes the multi-cast feed and uni-casts it across the VPN to Wowza. This has the following problems:
-
The ffmpeg introduces another point of failure.
-
The ffmpeg introduces another component that needs to be configured.
-
The ffmpeg introduces another transcoding and injects delay into getting the live stream to Wowza.
I was wondering if was possible to replace the VPN connection with a GRE/IPSec tunnel that will allows the ability to get rid of intermediate ffmpeg process and multi-cast directly into Wowza. Has anyone ever done this?
