Load testing streaming video?

Question

Software testing

Good afternoon, in what ways is it possible to test streaming video from the site? It is supposed to broadcast video in the form of one to many. I would like to know in more detail what influences to a greater extent, the width of the channel, or the power of the server that distributes the video and other factors. What are the possibilities to test it?

Answer 1

It depends on how broadcasting is organized, but most likely the channel will fall down) Video from the server's point of view is ordinary static content (unless, of course, there is encoding on the fly), that is, it is tantamount to downloading a large file.

Answer 2

The video format is important here .. http base is one thing, and some rtmp is completely different ..
