channel 1: udp://225.0.0.1:5000

channel 2: udp://225.0.0.2:5000

Hello,

If you looking to have redundancy for when a live source goes down you can look into having redundant

workflows with a primary and backup source encoder sending streams to multiple Wowza origin servers,

and have Wowza edge servers that pull from these two origins as primary/backup.

More info in [this](https://www.wowza.com/docs/scaling-with-wowza-live-stream-repeater)[article.](https://www.wowza.com/docs/scaling-with-wowza-live-stream-repeater)

Regards,

Alex

did wowza introduce any solution to have this on origin for transcoding (primary backup) instead of having multi origin servers?
