Distributed STUN/TURN Services
Design and deploy distributed STUN and TURN server infrastructure to ensure reliable connectivity for users globally.
Why Distribute STUN/TURN?
For smooth real-time communication across the globe, a single STUN or TURN server just won't cut it. Users far away from your server would experience high latency.
Distributing these services means placing them closer to your users. This improves connection reliability and reduces delays for everyone, no matter where they are.
STUN's Role in Connectivity
Remember STUN? A STUN server (Session Traversal Utilities for NAT) helps WebRTC peers discover their public IP address and port from behind a NAT (Network Address Translator) or firewall.
It's crucial for establishing a direct peer-to-peer connection by helping peers learn how they appear to the outside world.
