Real-time Voice & Video Guide

Practical tips to optimize cost & performance

This whitepaper is drawn from 20+ years of hosting real-time applications at i3D.net, observing how real-time platforms fail, where they encounter cost inflection points, and what infrastructure properties consistently separate platforms that scale cleanly from those that do not. 

What will you find in this whitepaper?
  • Why the egress price you benchmark at launch is the wrong one
    and what it becomes when bandwidth hits 60%+ of your infrastructure bill
  • The routing decision that silently erodes your call quality
    (and why "global network" rarely means what the marketing implies)
  • How to pressure-test a provider's network beyond PoP counts and throughput claims
    the four questions that actually predict real-time performance
  • Why adding more PoPs won't save you if your sessions are placed in the wrong location
  • The DDoS protection that keeps you technically "online" while your MOS quietly collapses
  • The hybrid architecture that pays for itself : if you design for it before costs spike, not after
