    edge/origin and webcams

In an origin/edge setup, am I right in assuming that the origin acts
as a load balancer and the edge servers do most of the work?

If I am, does this apply to webcam streams in addition to pre-recorded flv'=
s?


I'm still trying to determine the setup i need for supporting 1500
simultaneous users all either publishing or subscribing to webcam
streams.

I'm grouping people together in groups of 25-100, where there are 2
publishers and the rest are subscribing.


The real question is do I need to make sure that each group of people
are all connected to the same server to get the right stream or does
the origin/edge help me out here by allowing me to only expose a
single point of entry for all connections? Once again referring to
real time data ( webcams ) and not .flv's.

Hi Alan,

An Origin acts like a normal FMS2-server for running your application but
uses edges to make it work on multiple servers without a lot of hassle. The
Origin is indeed the single access point for a client at the start of the
connection (and the single point of failure, unfortunatly) and acts like a
load-balancer where the edges do the hard work (streaming) and the Origin is
the direction server for clients and communication between edges regarding
the application. The origin communicates between the edges to make sure
everything is treated right.

For webcam-chats and Edge/Origin is handy (it solves a lot of work that you
would need to do for creating your own kind of load-balancing/clustering
within the application and pushing videostreams to other servers, issues
around shared objects, etc.). For streaming static content it is not as
needed (you could use a normal load-balancer for this).

I would suggest to stresstest your application so you make sure what kind of
hardware and no. of servers is needed.

Kind regards,

Hi,

I don't intend to hijack this thread, or driving it off-topic, but I'm
doing research on the same topic and I have a question related to
clustered servers.

On a setup like this, would I have to purchase one FMS2 license for each
of the edge-servers? That could eventually turn out to be quite expensive.


Best regards,

Hi Thomas,

To have load devided you will need at least one origin and one edge. As far
as I know you can use the origin itself as an edge also (meaning that the
origin does both the work as an origin and an edge alltogether). I'm not
sure about this, you might want to check this with Adobe. If that is not
possible you will need at least one origin and 2 edges. Every origin or
edge-server is a new seperate license (where the origin will cost like 4
times an edge). Since an origin server still is the single point of failure
it is not really a cluster, please keep that in mind

If you have good knowlegde about FMS2 Pro and good programming skills (and
time to develop!) you might consider to use FMS2-pro licences instead of
Edge/Origin. It will probably be cheaper however will give you (a lot of)
extra work.

Note though that the edge server only works for users who are in the same la
yer 2 collision domain as the edge server. Edge in this case does not equal 
what you would expect from an Akamai CDN style service. It is not tied to DN
S. As I understand it the E
dge server sends a DHCP-style offer packet to allow users to connect, which 
means that if there is a router between your users and the edge server, they
 are unlikely to benefit from the Edge server.

Extra info: if you do not want to have an origin be the single point of
failure you could setup 2 different origin/edge solutions in 2 different
networks or use 2 origins within the same network. However, this is really
expensive.

James,

Correct, communitating between edges and origins is done through an
TCP-networkport... Must be in the same network!
