[Red5devs] BUG: 100 clients playing video make the origin server stop accepting new connections

[ilya77 at gmail.com]

Hello guys,

First of all - thank you for the excellent work you are doing!

I'm tossing in my 5 cents with a bug report which stops our production
deployment, and a simple stress testing tool you can use to reproduce the
bug.

Test setup:

1 origin server (dual core, 2 GB ram, 100 Mbit/sec ethernet)
1 edge server (dual core, 2 GB ram,  100 Mbit/sec ethernet)

both servers are running RED5 release 0.7.0.

The stress test application connects 100 clients with very short intervals
between attempts to connect, and starts playing "IronMan.flv" from the
oflaDemo application.

Seems that everything is going fine, until I stop the test and all clients
disconnect at once. After that, restarting the test SWF and attempting to
start the same test again, reveals that the server no longer accepts
connection requests (I do not receive errors, the connection attempt is
simply stalled on the client).
Restarting the origin server solves the problem, but obviously this is a
show-stopper... :(

The test application can be downloaded here:

With kindest regards,
Ilya Melamed
