Question

Configure server to handle 100's of people

Hi,

What would be the crucial things to optimize when you have hundreds of people connected to your application, with most of them being in a video conference with RTMFP direct_connections, and also some using RTMP connections?

Our app seems to go down under heavy load. - RTMFP stops working (no one can connect to the service with RTMFP NetConnection) and RTMP NetStreams don't work either, however Text Chat works.

Server we use have a connection limit of 500 connections, and 2.5mbps speed limit per connection (a video conference with 4 people uses less than that so it seems fine).

Thanks

    well ram and processor of the FMS server could be a contributing factor. Whats your CPU load and ram usage(free and used?) Do you know what an origin/edge network topology is?

    I started reading a pdf about largescale deployment for live streaming (it`s for FMS 3.5 though) and it talks about edge/origin, so i'll shortly have more knowledge about it.

    The ram and processor should be high enough to handle thousands of connections.

    About the origin/edge network topology, is it great for live streaming apps (let`s think Skype on the web over FMS)?
