How much bandwidth required for each connections (both Upload & Download requests), if any bandwidth calculator is available for finding bw requirement.

Thanks & Regards,

Hello and welcome to the Wowza support forum.

I am not sure exactly what you are asking.

But the math is simply “x” number of concurrent users multiplied by the data rate. So for example:

10 concurrent users x 500 kbps = 5 mbps.

I hope this answers your question.

To better help answer your question, we would need more details.

What is the bitrate of the streams? How many are running at one time? How many connections are you expecting to each stream?

You could look into Amazon EC2:

Wowza Streaming Engine for Amazon EC2: Quick Start Guide

And/or you may seek the advice from a Wowza consultant to help get up and running.

Hi,

Thanks for your input. But we required bandwidth optimization for streaming in-house events. If any solutions/configurations available for Wowza server.

Recently we have bought Wowza Perpetual License.

Bitrate is 256 Kbps.

Single Stream, expecting for 500 connections.

Hello gvillo,

At this time Load Test Tool 4.5 is what we have available.

You can look in to using other tools for load testing your server for bandwidth or performance. One that comes up after a quick G search is eggPlant.
