How to Edge node pull from multi Master nodes #768

Open kohaku1907 opened 8 years ago

kohaku1907 commented 8 years ago

I have one master ingest server and multiple edge nodes that each pull from the ingest server. But now i have 10000 cameras (1920x1080) push streams to master ingest server , i m afraid it can't handle it. So i plan to add more master ingest server ( with LoadBalancer LVS to handle which master ingest server those cameras will push stream to). But with more than one master ingest server how edge nodes pull all those stream . I also test pull option in edge node like this

application live { notify_method get; idle_streams off; pull rtmp://master_server_1/live live=1; pull rtmp://master_server_2/live live=1; }

But it only pull stream from master_server_1. Any advice ? Thanks

Btw, I think i dont need more master server , just upgrade bandwidth . Is it right ? Thanks. I see this http://nginx-rtmp.blogspot.com/2013/05/simple-pullpush-dns-load-balancing-in.html . Could it solve my prolem?

The fastest (in development) solution I think is: create "groups" of ingest and multi-edge nodes. In which group push or pull - will decide some backend (your site) by it's load and capacity. Split all 10k cameras by that groups of servers.

The second one - make nginx-rtmp to notify on play to backend which is decide which edge node should response to stream. And nginx-rtmp must send (is needed) "redirect" status to player which must understand it.

Load balancer on every edge node, run few nginx instances and load balance request to correct nginx instance. There is nothing built-in, so you need to direct connections to port or have own smart load balancer.
