Hi Chris. That does indeed help, but it would be good to know the Red5 estimated delivery dates (I have looked again at the roadmap, but I can't see them - am I being blind?)
Regarding the load issue, given that we don't need any video/audio, would a target of 2500 users per server be unreasonable? The project is actually going to support many more than that, but we can ring-fence groups onto a certain server (so we would have, say, 20 servers). Obviously, the more users the software can handle, the less we have to invest in hardware and associated setup costs. :) Thanks, James -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris Allen Sent: Wednesday, April 19, 2006 2:24 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Red5] load testing Hi James, Lee gives good advice here. It does seem though, that your timeline would work well with ours, and Red5 should be stable enough by the time you need to deliver your product. We will be doing some stress testing with version 0.5, so more information will be available about the load it can handle then. So, with that in mind, you may want to wait until that version before you decide it's going to work for you guys. As for running that many users at the same time, it may require more than one server, however, we simply haven't figured out how we are going to handle bridging multiple red5 servers together yet. Anyway, I will let Luke talk about this point. I hope that helps. -Chris On 4/19/06, Lee McColl-Sylvester <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > You can get the dates from the website www.osflash.org/red5 > > > > It is suggested to wait until build 0.6 before building anything extensive, > though of course, you can start developing any time you like...
