Why Is the Number of Total Viewers Less Than the Number of Peak Viewers in Stream Playback Profiles?

The number of total viewers is calculated by IP address, and the number of peak viewers varies depending on the protocol.

  • If the playback protocol is RTMP or FLV, the number of concurrent connections is calculated based on the number of sessions and is the same as that of online viewers.
  • If the playback protocol is HLS, the number of concurrent connections is not necessarily the same as that of online viewers.

As a result, the number of total viewers may not be the same as that of peak viewers.
