SFU - Selective Forwarding Unit

tags :: R:webRTC, R:video-conferencing

  • SFU does the following

    • Receives incoming video from all endpoints
    • Sends several copies of uncompressed video streams of other participants to each endpoint

  • The endpoints merge all video streams

  • This uses a client-server architecture

    • Not p2p; client does not have to send its streams to all the participants in a call
