ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment of the present invention, a method for measuring the capacity of a media server for supporting concurrent media streams to a population of clients is provided. The method comprises identifying a mixed workload, wherein the mixed workload corresponds to a number of media streams served concurrently by the media server to a population of clients wherein all of said number of media streams do not comprise common content encoded at a common bit rate. The method further comprises using a cost function to compute a load for the media server under the mixed workload.
