is there a way to stress test video streaming?
Basically simulating a high number of people simultaneously streaming a video?

This is an amazon 'cloud' service that will be enabled for my site.

It depends on what you would like to stress?

Some examples we like to use (that are specific to Webmasters, as opposed to the kind of solutions you would find on ServerFault, where the question is also posted) are:


stability under truly random RED conditions, consider everyone else's Internet is broken and dropping packets
concurrent users behind different proxies (especially where the admin is trying to cache YouTube and other video streaming servers), JeOS instances under KVM are your friend here
simultaneous HTTP Content-Range requests (the more invalid ones mixed in the better)
testing the system under a simulated TCP Global Synchronisation event
using Slowloris
deliberately reordering packets (especially with multicast)
