RIST

Scaffolded · Network ingest fabric · reach: direct · meters at $0.005/min. WAN-reachable (reach: direct) — an encoder/publisher hits a hosted *.wave.online edge worker directly. Also the bridge TARGETS that LAN fabrics convert to.

RIST is the open (VSF-standardized) alternative to SRT for reliable contribution over the internet, with the same loss-recovery goal via ARQ. Use it when your gear speaks RIST or when you want a vendor-neutral contribution path. The adapter is built and metered; the hosted rist.wave.online worker is being brought up — track its status on the fabrics index.

Hosted endpoint: rist.wave.online — fronted by the WAVE gateway (reach: direct).

Install

Adapter: @wave-av/transports/rist (wave-transports/rist).

Every fabric authenticates with the same WAVE key (Authorization: Bearer $WAVE_KEY) and is gated by the same scope grant. A call carrying x-wave-protocol: rist is attributed to this fabric end-to-end.

API reference

The WAVE gateway (api.wave.online) enforces auth, scope, entitlement, and metering for RIST — the same contract as every other fabric.

A subscription to the RIST product grants both rist:read and rist:write. Usage is reported as wall-clock minutes under the metering dimension duration_ms:rist, which bills the live Stripe meter wave_usage_duration_ms_rist once STRIPE_PRICE_STREAM_MIN_RIST is provisioned. Read your own accumulated usage at GET /v1/usage (scope usage:read).

All fabric reference fields above are generated from the fabric-support contract (catalog/fabrics.json) and the pricing SSOT, so the docs can never drift from what the gateway actually enforces.

Pricing

Every transport fabric meters at the uniform $0.005/min anchor. Metering is wall-clock and mutually exclusive — a minute is billed under duration_ms:rist or the aggregate stream dimension, never both. Prices are inert until your subscription is attached; you are billed only for minutes the gateway observes.
