I’m using webrtc to send live video between multiple users (multiple broadcasters, many more viewers) – after 5-10 minutes at 2000+ connections starting new broadcasts times out and this error starts showing up in the error log

What does the error mean?

Is it the reason new broadcasters time-out when trying to broadcast?

I updated to the latest version the other day.

Wowza stops working after our users start using it for 5-20 minutes.

> WebRTCRTPHandler.addNextTransportPacket: Hit max transport packets: 10000

is still what is written in the access and error logs.

Any clues on what needs to be changed to get this working?

Morning Jason

I am seeing the same errors. We are using webrtc to deliver an audio only stream that broadcasts 24 hours a day 5 days a week. We typically have 300 to 500 concurrently connections and for us we see this error after approximately 3 to 4 hours of broadcasting a stream.

We are currently trying to mitigate the issue by restarting the server every three hours.

I was wondering if you ever found any sort of solution?

Thanks in advance.

Pip
