Good morning,

i've got one question. Is there any limit of streaming persons by multicast?

Many thanks for your answers.

No.
Having 1 viewer or 1000000 viewers will be exactly the same for the server.

What is the average number of clients should network keep without overload?

If your network supports multicast, it can support as many viewers as you want (only 1 stream will be sent per network link)

Not that i know. Network hardware documentation usually mentions multicast if it is supported. (look for IGMP or IGMP spoofing)

I want to know the load of CPU when VideoLAN runs. I think it depends on the amount of clients are connected in unicast, so what is the load in a specific processor, let's say P-IV 2.8GHz?
