I am able to do load test and it is going fine also.

previously i was working with loadrunner. where I can make my bussiness scenario with wait time b/w transaction and iteration.

same way is it possible i can put some wait time b/w streams ???

This LT tool will through continuous streams to the server, right ???

Actually i want to control this streaming sending by tool. is it possible ?????

The Wowza load test tool is simple vod or live rtmp streaming. No special features or other protocols, etc.

Have you tried NeoLoad? If you download our free trial you can see that all WOWZA requests are recorded. Media is the latest technology being performance tested as it comes in a few types: smooth, adaptive and dynamic. NeoLoad handles these media technologies with the use of it's fork Action. NeoLoad can simulates hundreds/thousands of users connecting to your Wowza app and concurrently "watch" the video or "listen" to the audio. You will get response times on the download segments (which make up the entire media) and load test the deployment. You will know if you have enough resources available to support the target number of connected users.
Thank you!
