Scaling formula in BBB

[Gustavo Garcia]

Dear friends,

I would like to know if someone has an idea of how much resources (cpu, memory) an average BBB user will take in a session. Our

goal is to have a formula for how much hardware resources we will need, and what costs. I saw some other topics

about performance tests, and capacity, nevertheless we look for a more definitive estimation method.

Any help will be highly appreciated,

Best regards,

Hi Gustavo,

> we look for a more definitive estimation method.

The best method to test is to subject the BigBlueButton server to an increasing number of users under various scenarios and then extrapolate out the overall load.  For more information, see

Hi Fred,

Thank you, we will do it. Anyone has done so, and has some results that can be shared?

Best regards,

Hi Gustavo,

If anyone does share their results, take them with a grain of salt.  The reason we don't post any numbers as most people are not familiar the nuances of their server setup and would be tempted take numbers from a different server setup and (incorrectly) apply them to their own.

Best to test our server/setup to get a sense of the capacity.

Regards,... Fred
