Better quantification of number of users served #180

Closed SpencerDawkins closed 2 years ago

SpencerDawkins commented 2 years ago

From @ncamwing -

  • Section 4.1: better quantification of the number of users it can serve is needed as better guidance (vs. “…do not need to scale to more than a few users at a time”) As I can see live media events (like conference calls?) where there could be up to a hundred users (whether recommended or not!) attempting to hold a collaborative conversation (e.g. live video, audio and other resources like whiteboarding)

Well, "a few users" should not be read literally in this context. Surely, there can be many users when serving a latency under a second, but the scale is orders of magnitude different than other live streaming scenarios (10-100s vs. millions). Maybe we can revise the text as follows:

s/Worth noting is that many applications for ultra-low-latency delivery do not need to scale to more than a few users at a time, which simplifies many delivery considerations relative to other use cases. /Worth noting is that many applications for ultra-low-latency delivery do not need to scale to as many users as the low-latency and non-low-latency live delivery, which simplifies many delivery considerations relative to other use cases.
