I have setup live origin wowza instance and live edge (edge1) and that is working fine. I need to setup now another live edge instance (edge2) to fetch streams from edge1. So everything to be connected as following:

origin \<-- edge1 \<-- edge2 \<–client

So when a client connect to edge2 it will initiate connection to edge1 and edge1 will pull stream from origin.

How to achieve above scenario? It is important to connection be on demand and not persistent.

Hello Zarko,

I would recommend checking out [Scaling with Wowza live stream repeater](https://www.wowza.com/docs/scaling-with-wowza-live-stream-repeater) article.

It discusses the general strategies on how to scale your Wowza streaming system.

The simplest way accomplish the edge1 behind edge2 workflow would be to use a Stream Target between edge1 and edge2.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Alex

Hello Alex,

Thanks for the answer but in that case, it won’t be on demand. Edge1 will always send streams to edge2. I created a temporary solution with Nginx proxy instead edge2 and that seems to work.
