[Icecast] Help for 5000 clients server + 50 sources
Hi, i need a server for 5000 clients and 50 sources at the same time Can you help me to choose the right server? I was thinking this one PowerEdge R710 n.2 x Intel Xeon E5502 (1,86GHz, cache 4MB, 4,86 GT/s QPI) 2GB Memory for 1CPU (2x1GB Single Rank UDIMMs) 1066MHz 2 X 146GB SAS 15.000rpm 3,5" hd hot-plug PERC 6/i RAID controller 256MB PCIe 2x4 1 gbit network card Thanks -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

So are you saying you actually want 5,000 clients to connect to your own-built server, with 50 output streams? Do you have enough internet bandwidth to support all these clients?

Assuming you can push the network traffic out, any modern server should be fine. Whether you can handle this much network traffic will depend on what bitrate you're running your streams at, and what sort of outbound internet connectivity you have.

Take the maximum number of listeners you want, multiply that by the bitrate you'll be streaming it, and you'll have an idea what you peak bandwidth could be. I have a server with hundreds of sources and nearly 1000 outgoing connections. It;s rock steady. You don't need a power house. You're dealing with intense network throughput, but not so much memory or CPU utilization.
