Load Testing the WebRTC Video Streaming Server

Bees With Machine Guns is a load testing tool originally developed by the Chicago Tribune to stress-test their website by simulating a denial of service attack using AWS EC2 instances. The tool has been adapted by the Red5 Team to support specific live streaming video protocols such as RTMP, RTSP, and WebRTC, allowing them to evaluate the concurrent connection capabilities of video streaming servers. The tool's open-source nature makes it accessible on GitHub for public use. Benchmarks on an AWS c5.large instance demonstrate its capacity to handle a substantial number of stream subscribers across different protocols while maintaining stream quality. The Red5 Team, known for their expertise in interactive real-time experiences, continues to optimize their solutions and encourages others to use their tools while humorously staking a claim on production rights should a bee-themed action film ever be made.
