I've been helping quite a few people set up Jitsi lately. The software works reasonably well, although documentation is lacking and a lot of configuration options are named terribly, but one thing I've noticed is people's expectations about bandwidth usage are way lower than actuality, especially outbound from the server. But a bit of napkin math suggests that Jitsi isn't doing anything fundamentally inefficient here; one high-res stream plus N low-res streams transmitted to N participants is just a lot of bandwidth.
- nemoniac 7y agoPlease tell us what the config options should be.
- _-___________-_ 7y agoConfig options for what?
- BrowserMeeting 7y agolol. Seriously, for what?
- olgs 7y agoThis is so very true. We have been monitoring the bandwidth, CPU and mempools of our small Jitsi Meet instance living on an ESXi VM on a Mac Mini. We notice that 3-4 participants typically consume 5-7mbps downstream to the server and about 5mbps upstream from the server while CPU usage stay in the 15-20% range. The bandwidth scales fairly quickly with the number of participants, especially on phone type devices.
