How MESH Works
MESH sits between your PIPELINE ingest and VAULT storage, making intelligent routing decisions in real-time across the globe.
Stream Ingested
Your stream comes in via PIPELINE using any protocol (RTMP, WebRTC, SRT, NDI, OMT, Dante)
MESH Routes
MESH analyzes viewer locations, network conditions, and custom policies to route in <10ms
Protocol Translates
Edge automatically converts to optimal protocol for each viewer (WebRTC mobile, OMT desktop, SRT backup)
Delivered to Viewers
Optimized stream delivered via closest POP with sub-50ms latency and automatic failover
Routing Policies
Define how streams are routed based on your requirements
✓Geo-Latency Based
Route each viewer to the nearest POP with <50ms latency target
✓Cost Optimized
Route through cheapest paths while maintaining quality thresholds
✓Region Locked
Strict geographic enforcement for compliance (GDPR, HIPAA, local laws)
✓Protocol Specific
Route gaming streams to OMT POPs, mobile to WebRTC, backup to SRT
✓Quality Aware
Monitor stream quality and auto-switch to backup POPs if degradation detected
✓Custom Logic
Define routing based on any stream metadata or custom parameters

Frequently Asked Questions
What is MESH and why do I need it?
MESH is the intelligent routing fabric that sits between PIPELINE (ingest) and VAULT (storage). It makes routing decisions <10ms across 200+ global POPs, automatically selects the best path for your stream, translates protocols on-the-fly, and ensures sub-50ms latency for viewers worldwide. You need it for ultra-low latency streaming, multi-region delivery, automatic failover, and protocol optimization.
How fast is MESH routing?
MESH makes routing decisions in <10ms with 99.99% accuracy. Compared to traditional CDNs (20-50ms routing), MESH is 3-5x faster. For gaming and esports, this means <50ms latency to viewers worldwide. For telemedicine, <100ms latency ensures natural video conversations. The ultra-fast routing happens at the network edge without slowing down your stream.
Can MESH translate protocols automatically?
Yes. Broadcast via RTMP from OBS, and MESH automatically converts to WebRTC for mobile viewers, OMT for ultra-low latency on desktop, and SRT for backup streams. Protocol translation happens at the edge with zero quality loss. Each viewer gets the optimal protocol for their device/network without you managing multiple destinations.
Does MESH support geographic data residency?
Yes, MESH enforces strict geographic policies. For GDPR compliance, set policies to never route EU data outside EU regions. For HIPAA compliance, ensure medical streams stay within compliant infrastructure. Data residency policies are enforced at the network layer - automatic audit logs prove compliance for regulators.
What happens if a POP goes down?
MESH detects POP failures in <1 second and automatically reroutes traffic to healthy POPs with zero frame drops. No manual intervention needed. Viewers don't notice the failover. Optional webhook notifications alert you to the event. Enterprise customers get SLA guarantees with automatic credits for downtime.
How does MESH pricing work?
Pay-per-GB egress at $0.02/GB (undercutting Cloudflare). Routing policies included - first 10 free, then $5/month per additional policy. Advanced features: geo-compliance ($50/month), protocol translation ($100/month). No setup fees, no minimums. Pay only for what you use.
Can I use MESH with custom routing rules?
Yes. Define custom routing policies in code or via dashboard. Route based on: source region, destination region, viewer count, latency thresholds, protocol type, or custom parameters. Examples: "Route EU viewers to EU-West POP", "Force gaming streams to OMT protocol", "Switch to backup POP if latency >100ms".
Does MESH work with my existing infrastructure?
Yes. MESH integrates seamlessly with PIPELINE (automatic), VAULT (automatic), PULSE (metrics sent), CONNECT (webhooks/APIs), EDGE (routing aware), and RUNTIME (event triggers). Works with external CDNs via CNAME configuration. You can use MESH for just routing, or as part of the full WAVE stack.
What latency should I expect with MESH?
Network latency (POP to viewer): sub-50ms for 95% of global users. Routing decision latency: <10ms. Protocol conversion overhead: <5ms. Total end-to-end latency from broadcaster to viewer: <100ms for most regions. Gaming/esports streams typically see 20-50ms latency.
Can MESH help reduce bandwidth costs?
Yes, significantly. MESH routes traffic through the closest POP, reducing international bandwidth. Intelligent caching with VAULT reduces egress by 40-60%. Protocol translation uses optimal codecs for each viewer. Typical customers see 25-40% bandwidth cost reduction compared to traditional CDNs.
