MediaMTX is meant for routing live streams, and makes use of a series of protocols and techniques which try to preserve the real-time aspect of streams and minimize latency at cost of losing packets in transmit, in particular:
- most protocols are built on UDP, which is an "unreliable transport", specifically picked because it allows to drop late packets in case of network congestions.
- there's a circular buffer that stores outgoing packets and starts dropping packets when full.
- there's a circular buffer that stores outgoing packets and drops packets if full.
Packet losses are usually detected and printed in MediaMTX logs.
If you need to improve the stream reliability and decrease packet losses, the first thing to do is to check whether the network between the MediaMTX instance and the intended publishers and readers has sufficient bandwidth for transmitting the media stream. Most of the times, packet losses are caused by a network which is not fit for this scope. This limitation can be overcome by either recompressing the stream with a lower bitrate, or by upgrading the network physical infrastructure (routers, cables, Wi-Fi, firewalls, topology, etc).

There are however some parameters that can be tuned to improve the situation, at cost of increasing RAM consumption:
