Delays on sending media

ouboundaudiovideonetwork

There’s an overly long delay accumulated on an outgoing media channel.

Description

The time between a media packet being ready to send until it is sent over the network is too high. This is adding unnecessary latency to the service.

This can occur due to multiple reasons:

  • Congested network, which isn’t ready to send packets fast enough
  • Overtaxed CPU

What do we do here?

We check if the packets send delay is higher than 20 milliseconds on average per measurement interval
