Load Testing

In this tutorial, we explain how load tests can be made for Ant Media Server.

Test Setup

Test setups has two parts: test server and SUT (system under test). We have two different setups for two different SUT.

One Instance Setup

Here we have only one Ant Media Server instance as SUT.

|                   |                  |                      |
|                   | <--------------> |                      |
|                   |    rest          |                      |
+-------------------+                  +----------------------+

Cluster Setup

Here we have a cluster structure as SUT which contains one origin and two edge servers.
