Problem with AMS Edge Servers

Hi,

I've set up VOD streaming solution with 1 origin and 3 edge servers, all on AMS 5.0.1, the problem I have is that I get poor streaming performance.

Once more than 200 users come online the performance imeddiately becomes sluggish, there is a lag in Video seek and buffering.

The problem seems to be in the edge servers. If I take one of the edge out of Load Balancer and access directly (only me, no other users accessing it) everything is fine and quick. Also if I restart the Edge for 2-3 hours it work ok. (CPU load is only 1% when the sluggish performance begins and it never goes up).

I've modified following lines in my config from default values:

in fms.ini I've set:

SERVER.FLVCACHE_MAXSIZE=10240

in Application.xml I've set:


<Process>

    <Scope></Scope>

    <Distribute numprocs="3">inst</Distribute>

    <LifeTime>

      <RollOver></RollOver>

      <MaxCores></MaxCores>

    </LifeTime>



<MaxFailures>2</MaxFailures>


<RecoveryTime>0</RecoveryTime>

</Process>

in vhost.xml I've set:



<CacheDir enabled="true" useAppName="true">



<Path>/home/fmsdvrcache</Path>



<MaxSize>32</MaxSize>


</CacheDir>

Hardware specs for edge servers are:

Core i7-3550 3.7GHZ

16GB RAM

80GB Intel 320 series SSD

I tried many different configurations but nothing helps. Can anyone suggest anything?

There should be definately some problem with the Disk Caching mechanism in AMS. I've removed all the edges and directed all of the traffic to Origin server (with no disk cache) and performance immediately increased.

Any ideas? Any adobe staff members here?
