Is Downstream Traffic or Upstream Traffic Billed?
Is Downstream Traffic or Upstream Traffic Billed?
Updated on 2024-08-07 GMT+08:00
If the ratio between the number of live streams and number of viewers is equal to and less than 1:50, only downstream traffic is billed:
Downstream traffic = Live video bitrate/8 x Length of a live video x Average number of viewers
If the ratio between the number of live streams and number of viewers is greater than 1:50, upstream traffic is also billed:
Upstream traffic = Live video bitrate/8 x Length of a live video x Number of channels
