Hi all,
i wanted to know how to calculate or estimate the number of simultaneous connections that one Flash Media Server installation (one licence, one server) can handle, in the scope of a basic Instant Messaging application (online presence and text chat). Did some of you have direct experience about it?

I found informations only about video streaming & server stress, but nothing about connections number alone.

Thanks

    Well the actual number will depend on your hardware specs and probably the operating system that FMS is running on. That said, and a connection test alone, I was able to achieve over 4000 NetConnections to one FMS server on RHEL5, and then the client (not the server) ran out of stack space because of the amount of sockets that were concurrently opened. Note: take this number with a grain of salt, as no activity was performed on the NetConnection. Also to note, that streaming A/V is usually more intense than simple text so those numbers would probably be safe to use.
