WOWZA 3.1.1 Server Capacity, connections, streams, etc.

I sent this to the support email, but not getting responses for over 8 hours so thought I would post here.

Assume bandwidth is unlimited.

Server:

VPS

Quad Core

6Gb ram

Windows 2008 r2

We are currently streaming VOD as live stream using streamschedule.smil. How many streams can WOWZA handle, and how many connections per stream? I need to know this so I can plan for capacity. We are not using the transcoder.

We have a load test tool so you can measure your server and network capacity. To get it, write to test@wowza.com. There is a document to sign and return

I just don’t know. 100s probably, 1000s maybe. Bandwidth is the usual limiting factor, tho the VPS configuration might impose other limits.

I emailed yesterday, but still have not received a reply. A general limit of streams/connections would suffice. I am just looking for a ballpark, not a pin point number.
