stress test

how can you stress test a wowza server before launch? (whether dedicated or using AWS or some form of lesser VPS type wowza plan)

Wowza has a load test tool. You can get it by writing to test@wowza.com to request it. There is a document to sign and return

Hi

You can request the RTMP load test tool following the instructions here,

both tools are the same?

also, it says:

The Load Test Tool requires a Daily, Monthly, or Perpetual Wowza software license.

what if you want to test services (wowza hosts) you are paying for and not full server?

Hi

Yes both are the same, I was writing my post before Richard had finished writing his.

Only the owner of the Wowza server is allowed access to the load tool so I’m afraid this is something that you will have to take up with your host(s).
