Here&#8217;s why proximity to your\u00a0RTMP streaming server is important:<\/p><ul class=\"marker:text-quiet list-disc\"><li class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [&amp;&gt;p]:pt-0 [&amp;&gt;p]:mb-2 [&amp;&gt;p]:my-0\"><p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"><strong>Latency compounds with distance<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Every mile between your\u00a0encoder\u00a0and server adds milliseconds. When you&#8217;re streaming from London but routing through Dallas, those milliseconds stack into noticeable delays between what happens live and what viewers see. The TCP connection that\u00a0the RTMP protocol relies on becomes less stable as the distance increases.<\/p><\/li><li class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [&amp;&gt;p]:pt-0 [&amp;&gt;p]:mb-2 [&amp;&gt;p]:my-0\"><p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"><strong>Network hops multiply failure points<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Your stream doesn&#8217;t travel directly from point A to point B. It bounces through multiple network nodes, and each hop introduces potential packet loss or routing issues. Choosing a\u00a0streaming server\u00a0in your region reduces the number of hops your data makes.<\/p><\/li><li class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [&amp;&gt;p]:pt-0 [&amp;&gt;p]:mb-2 [&amp;&gt;p]:my-0\"><p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"><strong>Bandwidth efficiency drops with poor routing<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0RTMP streaming\u00a0maintains persistent connections that require consistent bandwidth. When your\u00a0RTMP stream\u00a0routes inefficiently across continents, you&#8217;re fighting against infrastructure designed for general internet traffic, not real-time\u00a0video streaming. This directly affects\u00a0stream quality\u00a0and increases buffering risks.<\/p><\/li><li class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [&amp;&gt;p]:pt-0 [&amp;&gt;p]:mb-2 [&amp;&gt;p]:my-0\"><p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"><strong>Regional internet infrastructure varies<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Not all routes are equal. A server in Mumbai connects to Asian internet infrastructure differently than one in Seattle. Your RTMP URL\u00a0choice determines which backbone networks handle your content, and regional networks perform better for local traffic.<\/p><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c43ac9f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c43ac9f\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-87958ac\" data-id=\"87958ac\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-441b57b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"441b57b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>OneStream Live&#8217;s auto-detect feature handles server selection automatically based on your IP location, eliminating guesswork.
