Question

How many concurrent streams can my server handle?

I am trying to serve streaming video over a 10 mb network and using Adobe® Flash® Media Streaming Server 3.5.  Here are the specs on the video.

Video:

Codec: On2 VP6

320x240px

frame rate: 30fps

400 kbps (VBR)

keyframe distance: 15

Audio:

Mono channel

96 kbps

Does anyone know how many of these I could serve up concurrently?  Or is there a spec somewhere?

    It might be that straightforward question to answer because your network might support "x" mbps but your server configuration including CPU,Memory,Network card you have.

    If you need to do simple calculation (considering you have calculated your bandwidth for video and audio individually) it would like one client would take around 496kbps. Now that means roughly 2 clients will take 1 Mbps so 20 clients will eat up 10Mbps - so at given point of time only roughly 20 clients would be able to play stream without much of rebuffering issue.

    Any number of clients would be able to connect and play but more the clients quality of service for each client might start degrading , they might start getting insufficient bandwidth messages.
