Monks,

I am sorry that this is not strictly a Perl question, but I hope on some feedback anyway.

I currently work on a project where we have some problems with a CDN-provider that we use to deliver video on demand as well as live streams via rtmp.

We probably will go to the CDN-provider's site, set up some Linux-boxes there and try to test whether or not they are able to deliver what they have promised to deliver.

So what I need now is a good way to stress-test Flash media servers (we probably will use about 20 Linux-boxes to perform the testing to max out the servers).

In particular I need a way to automate rtmp (preferably via Perl). One way to do it is use a module called Sniffer::RTMP - has anyone ever used that?

Another way to do it would be to use an Adobe tool called fmscheck. Any recommendations on that?

What would be a good way to coordinate all the boxes involed in the testing?

Many thanks!
