Question

How does China Relay billing work?

Applies To

• Video API
• China Relay

Answer

China Relay is a surcharge on all the streams passing through the relay, in both directions. This would be applied on top of the pricing structure you're using (PM or SSM). The surcharge is $.003 per minute. The below example shows how to calculate the surcharge, which is then added to the underlying video session cost:

Standard base PM cost:
2 participants in session (1 in china)
2 participants * 60min * $0.00395 
= $0.475 PM for this session

China Relay surcharge:
2 streams passing through the relay (1 publisher out and 1 subscriber in)
 2 streams * 60min * $0.003 surcharge
= $0.360 Surcharge for this session

Total:
$0.475 + $0.360 = $0.834 for session
