Layer 4 forwarding
Transport-layer forwarding, protocol-agnostic, suited to all kinds of audio and video traffic.
Streaming Relay
Lay a steady path for audio and video traffic
veilx Streaming Relay provides a Layer 4 forwarding service, building stable, low-jitter transport channels for audio, video, live streaming and real-time traffic.
How it works
Three steps to steady the traffic
STEP 01
Create a relay service
Create a streaming relay service in the console, specifying the origin and protocol.
STEP 02
Connect the traffic
Publishers or clients connect to the forwarding ingress veilx assigns.
STEP 03
Transport with stability
Traffic is forwarded via the nearest node over an optimized Layer 4 link — resistant to jitter and congestion.
Key features
Built for real-time traffic
Low-jitter links
An optimized backbone smooths out jitter, making real-time streams flow more smoothly.
High-concurrency capacity
Carries large numbers of concurrent connections and high bandwidth, by plan tier.
Health checks and failover
An unhealthy origin is switched out automatically, with no interruption to transport.
Real-time traffic monitoring
Bandwidth, connection and jitter metrics are visible in real time.
Multi-region ingress
Nearby ingress points cut first-hop latency.

FAQ
About Streaming Relay
Both are Layer 4 forwarding; Streaming Relay is tuned for audio, video and real-time traffic with jitter resistance and high-concurrency optimization, making it a better fit for live streaming and interactive scenarios.
Yes. It can provide a stable forwarding ingress and link for publishing protocols such as RTMP and SRT.
It depends on the plan tier; it supports large numbers of concurrent connections and high bandwidth — see the product center in the console for specifics.
Billing is based on the forwarding capacity and traffic of the plan you choose — see the pricing page for details.
