To everybody who has network issues with the link I posted. Please give me details like: browser, flash player version, firewalls, etc. Network failures aren't logged if you can't reach the server.
Mark, the problem is the I/O that's why I'm posting this. But I'm glad that FMS has the same problem ;). The only solution I can think about is the creation of a system which divides the load over multiple disks/systems. Expensive but effective.

Hi Martijn, Be sure to check out the I/O of the server. We've had the same issues on a edge-server (yes, edge/origin) from a client from us and I/O was the bottleneck for this. They have a lot of seeking (and hundreds of files) and it was VERY I/O intensive. I don't now how Red5 handles this but it is worth checking this out first before going on to next steps.

And the problem then appears when a lot of people access the file at the same time but all at a different position (in time).

Yep, that's true if the VOD streaming is pulled by the client. But as we also need to track the client buffer, we are using a scheduled task to push the VOD content to the client. I was thinking of sharing the connection buffer across the cluster if the connection is of type RTMPTConnection. When the connection is of type RTMPT, we use a buffer for each connection to save the packets that will be sent to the client. These packets includes AV packets, RSO packets, invocation result etc. When the client's request is distributed to one of the node, the server retrieves packets in the buffer and sends to the client. So all kinds of services, regardless of VOD, Live or RSO, can be shared without the need to share the whole connection or stream objects. What do you think? Of course, I share Steve Harris's lack of knowledge of the internals of Red5, so my observation might be dumb, nonsensical, or both for which I apologize in advance.

The live stream is pushed to the subscribers just like what Remote SharedObject does so if configured properly I believe it can be clustered by TC. But I doubt that this is practically realistic because (1) The amount of AV data is much bigger than that of RSO. So much more data will be transfered across the nodes. (2) When the amount of data arises, the transfer latency will also arise and the real time requirement of live streaming is compromised. Anyway we can implement it technically and whether it's practical will be decided by the application. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Load-balancing-for-live-streams-tf3926799.html#a111556 12 Sent from the Red5 - English mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Red5 mailing list [email protected] http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/red5_osflash.org -- I cannot tell why this heart languishes in silence.
