Hi!

Just as the topic. This is a very urgent matter.
I will deliver the following technical information on the server:

-Dedicated server:
Connection bandwidth: 100 Mbps
Unlimited transfer limit
RAM: 512MB RAM
Intel Atom 1.60 mono

System: CENTOS 5.5
FMS Version: Interactive 4.0

We will send a stream of quality 800kbps

    With a 100Mbit interface, you can realistically use about 90Mbit, so in terms of bandwidth, you cap would be roughly 100 to 110 concurrent subscribers with your 800kbps stream.

    That said, I've never deployed FMS on such low powered hardware, so i don't know if the hardware will actually support that much traffic (I have the feeling you'll run into a problem with memory usage at only 512MB or RAM). Perhaps someone with expereince deploying FMS to low powered hardware can answer to that part of the question.

    Ok, I understand. Thank you for your reply. So what do I do if I have about 1500 users? Please help!

    You'd need a much more powerful server, and since your 1500 subscribers would put you past the 1Gbps mark, you'd need a bonded pair of gigabit network interfaces.

    Alternately, you could use a CDN service to handle distribution of  your streams.
