We run jitsi with multiple jvbs successfully, it works seamlessly and conferences get LB’d as they are supposed to. We use dockerized versions of jvb on our machines and we see no more than 20% CPU on jvb-side. So currently every machine has a single jvb instance on it.
My question is: Can we install multiple jvbs on same machine so that we can use CPU more efficiently?
This has already been posted several times on this forum, this can be done by setting
org.jitsi.videobridge.SINGLE_PORT_HARVESTER_PORT=…port…
where port is by default 10000, so on additional jvbs you can use 10001, 10002…
Will this help anything as long as the network capacity is constant?
Jvb is already taking advantage of multiple cores if it sees it. The bottleneck is the network.
