[Red5] RED5 6 months expiring... I need suggestion from gurus

[Walter Tak]

Hey Dan,

do you have a few streams that are being distributed to many edges because the amount of possible subscribers is too much for one server to handle ? 

If not you could try to spread the various live streams over more cheaper single node-servers (no edge-origin setups) to reduce the complexity of your farm, to lower costs of ownership (you probably can get 10 cheap nodes compared with 4 fat servers) and in the end have more performance.

Another option is to give Wowza a go. Yep thats the competitor but boy I've seen some impressive results posted by them.

  Hello Walter,

  I used latest version only. 0.9RC1, 0.9RC2, 0.9...
  But we tested today 0.9 with 300 people in one room and
  it was very good and stable.

  I will install all changes to all my servers and we
  will test it again with huge group of people.

  Hope it helps.

  At least I can tell you that 0.9 uses memory in twice
  time less that older one. This is huge progress guys!

  Thank you very much.


  We're working over good origin-edge realization, the
  current one is not so good as we need.

  Thanks,
  Dan

    Hey Dan,

    What version have you used before and what version are you using currently ? The newer 0.9.0 should have addressed a lot of memory related issues which can make a server come down on it's knees.

      Hello everyone, 


      Ok there is the explanation. RED5 server is not stable enough with live streams.
      No, it's stable if I have a huge server and one-two scopes with 10 connections
      in each scope... but when I have 200 scopes per one cluster (1 origin+3 edges)
      and each scope has about 100 connections (guests)... video does not work
      well... choppy... huge latency... audio is choppy too... all the time.


      Ok, hardware, this is LAN, 1Gbps. All 4 computers Dual Xeon with 6Gig RAM.
      There is nothing except Java VM and RED5 server.


      I would know next step from my side which I need to do to increase
      servers stability?


      Thanks,
      Dan
