Hello,

I am working with a church that has a 10 Mbps upstream / 50 Mbps downstream internet connection.

We have a working system running OBS on a computer with 2 NIC cards. The main NIC handles all of the traffic including the NDI cameras, except for the streaming output. The second NIC outputs the live stream.

The Ubiquiti / Unifi managed switch puts the second NIC connection on a separate VLAN and the Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X from the LAN to the WAN performs QOS traffic shaping based on giving any traffic from the dedicated VLAN the highest priority.

This works because OBS enables the streaming output to be bound to the PC second NIC while the routing table ensures that all of the regular traffic goes through the first NIC. With this arrangement the live stream is protected from any traffic bursts by the QOS.

I am looking at moving to vMix, but it doesn't seem to have this ability (despite the requests on the forums), so I'm not sure how to create a robust upstreaming environment.

How are other people managing with low upstream bandwidth on shared networks ?

Thanks,
Nick
