Hi everyone,

I have p.III PC with SCSI 9.1 GB hard drive and RedHat 9.0 set on it.
The VLS directs a unicast stream of a mpg file to more than one client simultaneously.

In my system I found out that if the VLS stream to more than 12 clients the video quality damaged, the cpu is 100%, and RAM usage is about 25%.

What is its constraints? the hard drive? the CPU?

Is it matter if it stream one file or more?


thankx.

It depends ;-), you said you're streaming unicast, you need the bandwidth, and disk I/O capacity for every client, the CPU at 100% could be if you're encoding the input data to a different format, otherwise i would say the problem ist network bandwidth or I/O capacity of your hard disk. And in case of Unicast you're sending every client a dedicated stream, from 1 file or more doesn't matter until the files are on the same disk.
