title: Load Testing RTMP connections
body: <p>I am using <a href="http://www.wowza.com/" rel="nofollow">Wowza Media Server</a>'s webcam record capability in a project. It records the webcam feed over <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Time_Messaging_Protocol" rel="nofollow">RTMP</a> which is connected to via a flash file. It's all working fine, but I need to stress/load test the functionality to check how it'll scale up. </p>
  
  <p>I've done http load testing several times which is fine but I'm not sure how best to simulate RTMP connections. Obviously by the nature of webcam recordings it's probably quite a hard thing to simulate, but any pointers in the right direction would be appreciated.</p>
