Re: Load simulation of current WMS environment

Hi andoni,

you can use the load simulator not only with sample files but with a live stream too.

so you can use the load simulator with your live stream (even if it have a low bitrate)

Hi all,

I have set up a WM server which has both the encoder and server running on it. The encoder is set to push the audio stream to the server where it is published.

We have it working OK, broadcasting unicast correctly to the internet, both the front-end website and the audio stream are available over port 80. We have about 3-5 people listening to it at any one time, and there is a delay of about 18 seconds on the audio stream. This system is running on an HP Evo D330D PC.

In the near future, we will have to deploy this solution to about 500 external users. We will probably use a cluster of HP ProLiant DL360s for this production environment. Apart from calculating bandwidth usage (only 16k per unicast stream), I need to know how much server power this will need. Is there a way I can determine this by loading the current system?

As far as I can see, I can't use the load simulator as this uses sample files at a higher bitrate, and i am streaming a broadcast at only 16kbps.

Any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated.

Andoni
