Is async runtime (Tokio) overhead significant for a "real-time" video stream server?
5 projects | /r/rust | 8 Mar 2023

I've been looking at open source video conferencing software options, specifically Jitsi. When reading their deployment docs the phrase "real time" comes up occasionally, for example:
Zoom Video adding advertisements to the free tier of its service
4 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 2 Nov 2021

It stops being peer-to-peer as soon as there are more than two participants (i.e more than one destination for the stream). Jitsi uses their Videobridge https://jitsi.org/jitsi-videobridge/ as a central server to do the multiplexing.
