AS208220 · Streaming infrastructure

IPTV and OTT servers, built around the network

Video is a bandwidth business. These builds pair unmetered 10–25 Gbps ports on our own autonomous system with the CPU and NVMe a live ABR ladder actually needs.

Demo data. Network availability shown here comes from the mock provider. No live monitoring backend is connected, so these values are generated placeholders.

Everything on this page rides AS208220 — the same network our status page, looking glass and peering policy describe. Run a traceroute from any of our locations to your audience before you order. We would rather you check than take our word for it.

Sizing

Work out what you actually need

Concurrent viewers multiplied by bitrate is the number that picks your server. Here is the arithmetic, with the reasoning shown.

A planning estimate, not a quote. Real capacity depends on your bitrate ladder, ABR switching behaviour, cache hit ratio and how concentrated your peak is. Send us your numbers and we will size it properly.

Why the network matters

Buffering is a routing problem more often than a CPU problem

Our own AS number

Streaming lives or dies on the network. AS208220 is ours, so routing decisions, congestion and peering are things we fix rather than escalate.

Unmetered ports

Priced per port, not per terabyte. A viewership spike costs you nothing extra and never triggers an overage invoice mid-month.

Filtering that keeps you on air

Volumetric attacks are scrubbed rather than null-routed. Streaming platforms are attacked constantly and a null route is an outage by another name.

Transcoding-grade CPUs

High-core EPYC and Xeon parts sized for live ABR ladders, with NVMe for segment cache, catch-up and VOD.

Placement

Latency follows geography. Serving Indian subscribers from Amsterdam works, but Singapore works better.

Getting started

How a launch usually goes

  1. 1

    Send us your numbers

    Channel count, bitrate ladder, expected concurrency and where your audience is. That is enough for us to size it.

  2. 2

    Test the route first

    Run a traceroute from the location we suggest to a few of your subscribers. If the path is bad, we would both rather know now.

  3. 3

    One origin, then edges

    Most platforms start with a single origin and add regional edge servers once the audience concentrates somewhere.

  4. 4

    Scale per event

    Tell us ahead of a known spike. Adding a server mid-month is prorated, and we watch capacity with you on the night.

What you run

Unmanaged bare metal with full root and IPMI. Bring nginx-rtmp, SRS, Wowza, Flussonic, your own packager — whatever your stack is. We do not install or support the streaming software, and we do not charge you for a panel you did not ask for.

Before you commit

Ask for a test IP in the location you are considering and run your own load test against it. Any host confident in their network will say yes to that.

Who these servers are for

Broadcasters, OTT platforms, sports and event streamers, houses of worship, education providers, and IPTV operators distributing content they hold the rights to. If you are licensed to distribute it, we are glad to carry it, and we will size the network around your peak rather than your average.

What we will not host is redistribution of channels you have no rights to. That is covered in our acceptable use policy, and we enforce it — partly because it is the law, and partly because rights complaints get networks depeered, which would degrade service for every legitimate streamer on AS208220. We would rather be straight about that before you order than after.

Questions

The things people ask first

Unmetered really means unmetered?+

Yes — you pay for the port speed, not the traffic that crosses it. A 10 Gbps unmetered port can move roughly 3.2 PB in a month if you saturate it. What we do ask is that you tell us before a known spike, such as a big match or a launch, so we can watch capacity with you.

How many viewers fits on one server?+

Bandwidth is almost always the limit, not CPU. At 6 Mbps for 1080p, a 10 Gbps port carries roughly 1,600 concurrent viewers with peak headroom, and a 25 Gbps port around 4,000. The planner above does this arithmetic for your own bitrate ladder.

Can you transcode as well as deliver?+

Yes. Software transcoding on the high-core builds handles live ABR ladders; if you need GPU encoding for a dense channel count, tell us the channel and profile count and we will spec the card with you.

Do you provide the panel or the software?+

No — the servers are unmanaged bare metal, so you run your own stack. Most customers deploy nginx-rtmp, SRS, Wowza, Flussonic or their own packager. We handle the metal and the network.

How fast is delivery?+

In-stock configurations are typically racked within a few hours. Custom builds with unusual storage or GPUs take two to five working days. We confirm by email before anything is charged.

Can I add capacity mid-month?+

Yes, and it is prorated. Most platforms start with a single origin, then add edge servers per region as the audience concentrates somewhere specific.
