Hello,

I have issue. How I can calculate system resources for Wowza Streaming engine(RAM,CPU,Network)?

I want to start live streaming with abr support, on input I have 100 channels(80 SD, 20 HD) with ABR on input I will have 320 input streams(Wowza working in Origin mode in front Im using nginx)

Thank for help.
