Hi.

I’m testing how many connections does wowza can handle.

When I load wowza with weighttp (like ab), the server hung up when connection reaches 65534.

Here is the result of connectioncounts.

> 6553411990511990507114.00.0_defaultVHost_3189.69706553411990511990507112.00.0APPloaded3188.3386553411990511990507114.00.0_definst_3188.2466553411990511990506098.00.0APP.stream065534000065534%5Bcupertinostreamingpacketizer%7Ccupertinostreamingrepeater%5DAPP.stream0000000

my benchmark command like this.

```auto
weighttp -n 100000 -c 10 -k [url]http://localhost:1935/APP/_definst_/APP.stream/playlist.m3u8

```

Practically, the command did not continue HLS protocols.

It did only download playlist.m3u8.

But ConnectionsCurrent didn’t decrease. why? any settings?

does wowza can’t handle over 65534 connections?

thanks,
