I have set up Wowza as an HTTP caching origin for CloudFront as outlined in [How to integrate your Wowza EC2 instance with CloudFront](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-integrate-your-wowza-ec2-instance-with-cloudfront).

I’m interested in testing how many concurrent 1 Mbps connections CloudFront can handle. [According to their documentation](http://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/details/) it should be 1000 equalling 1,000 megabits per second:

```auto
1000 simultaneous connections to a 1 Mbps stream == 1000 Mbps

```

Is there a way to simulate a large amount of HTTP connections?

Hi,

There are some [suggestions here.](http://community.wowza.com/t/-/37052)

but you wont be able to use the RTMP testing tool with cloudfront, the other suggestions made there may be viable though.
