Load Testing RTMP connections

I am using Wowza Media Server's webcam record capability in a project. It records the webcam feed over RTMP which is connected to via a flash file. It's all working fine, but I need to stress/load test the functionality to check how it'll scale up.

I've done http load testing several times which is fine but I'm not sure how best to simulate RTMP connections. Obviously by the nature of webcam recordings it's probably quite a hard thing to simulate, but any pointers in the right direction would be appreciated.

You can use Flazr: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/flazr/index.php?title=Load_Testing.

There's a video demonstration on YouTube.

Wowza has a load testing tool. Flash RTMP Load Test Tool

Wowza Media Server provides a Flash RTMP load testing tool. This tool can be used to generate RTMP load on a single Wowza server to test configuration and performance. The Load Test Tool requires a subscription or perpetual license. To request the Load Test Tool, send an email request with the following information to [email protected]:

  • Name
  • Company name
  • Last 4-digits of subscription or perpetual license
  • Reason for use

I've used it a couple times myself and can attest to its usefulness.
