We have successfully implemented the below configuration in a lab environment including simulated WAN. During configuration a switch from a variable bitrate stream (2-8Mbps with target 3.5Mbps) to constant 3.5Mbps caused issues which we resolved by upping the sortBuffer from 500 to 4000. This was a best guess rather than a scientific process.
Is there any documentation that lists all of these settings and their purpose? With the case described below can you suggest any improvements to the default config as per the setup instructions listed here https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-publish-and-play-a-live-stream-mpeg-ts-based-encoder
In particular I am interested in which settings are relevant in the rtp-live configuration when pulling a MPEG-TS and serving RTMP especially as latency and or packet drop increases.
Thanks
