Ask HN: Cheapest way to do 2,000 concurrent rtmp video streams?

6 pointskbrower2 comments

Looking to change our infrastructure. Looking to set up a rtmp server(s) that can stream 2,000 rtmp streams(500kB/s each). Anyone have any experience with red5/flash media server. What sort of performance can I expect. Any way to cache the video files in RAM using this software out of the box. Should I just go with a CDN if my peak bandwidth will be 10x off peak? Any hosting providers/co-locaters that have low bandwidth costs(10TB of traffic) and a nice(at least 1GB/s) connection.

Thanks!
