Are the encoders running on the same computer as the server?
This will determine how much CPU is available.
As for multicasting 2MB streams, if you are connected to a 100MB network
for example, you should be able to fit about 40 2MB streams; 100MB -
20%(for overhead). This of course assumes encoding is done on other computers.
Multicasting only sends one stream per program no matter how many users, so
more users will not increase network traffic; only encoders.
Hope this helps.

Can anyone tell me what the maximum number of streams that I can push out
from an Xserve Dual 2GHz, 2GB RAM.
Multicast 2Mb streams.
Just looking for a theoretical limit. Bandwidth is not an issue, I am
looking at when I will cap the server.
Thanks,
Steve
