Question

Maximum Simultaneous RTMP Broadcasters?

In planning for our system we need to know how many simultaneous individual incoming RTMP streams Adobe Media Server Standard (or Professional) can handle. For example, with all broadcasters broadcasting a single stream at 500 kbps and each with 10 viewers, how many of these broadcasters could be handled by a single server (say a Dual Processor Quad Core Xeon 5620 - 2.40GHz with 24GB RAM on a 10 Gigabit Port)?

For starters, we do not need exact numbers, just a general idea. For example, would the above configuration handle somewhere around 10, 50, 100, 250, 500, or 1000+ simultaneous broadcasters at those specs?

Thanks,

Mark

    The main thing I am try to determine is at what point a single server will run out of processing power (or RAM, or something else) to handle any additional broadcasters. This will help us to determine our growth needs as it is important to know how many broadcasters will be able to use a single server.
