Just like everyone else, I really liked the article. And of course I have some questions.

What is the benefit of EvoStream over nginx-rtmp? I use nginx-rtmp as well and it creates HLS files just fine.

Also, how did you handle the network load? How many edge servers were actually delivering the content to users?

Did you use 10G ethernets, link bonding, or did you use cloud services (eg cloudfront) to deliver the content?

Thanks a lot.

* We initially picked EMS because of its API, but we're moving to nginx-rtmp.

* We used 20G ethernet, we could get 19G from each machine.

* All the content is hosted by us.
