[Red5] Max connections

[Joel Ettinger]

Hi,

I'll try to give you more info tomorrow once i'll look at the machine
config but:

I didn't precise the profile of the machine since I don't think it's
relevant.
We added some memory to the machine without change in the number of
connections (from 512 Mo to 1024 Mo).
 We had a go at running a second red5 instance on the same machine on
different ports. And we reached some 1700 connections, having still a
machine quite responsive if we can judge by the connection rate.

So my understanding is of a inner limit of Red5 around 900 connections.

Machine profile from memory:
VM onVMWare
OS:
Ubuntu server 8.0.4.1
Memory: 512 Mo and then 1024 Mo

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Can you share more info about
the server's hardware?! How about the CPU?! Was it stressed with 900
simultaneous users?! And how would Red5 not accept any other clients?!
Would it rreject them or throw hideous errors during connection?! Naicu
