Streaming to YouTube from Partner - is there a rate limit?

[Gabor Szabo]

Hi,

yesterday I tried to stream a video - a live coding session - to YouTube. I
set OBS to send at 2500 bps and later increased it even to 8500 bps. Using
"glances" I saw my network card reporting sending at that rate, but YouTube
was still complaining of too slow stream - less than 2500 bps.

Do you have any experience with streaming? Successes failures?
Is it possible that Partner / 012 limits the streaming rate?
Can there be some other issue?
What do you think I could do?

I am on Fiber and the speed test report 92 Mbps / 22 Mbps (I think nominal
it is 100/25) to the near-by https://www.speedtest.net/ station.
I also checked it with New York and I got 92 / 18.

Uploading large videos to YouTube works very fast.

I tried mtr with the IP address where traffic seemed to go

mtr --tcp 74.125.173.201 -c 100 --csv
