Hi,

There’s some useful data in [this thread.](http://community.wowza.com/t/-/35296)

The info there is about two years old, some of the posters there have done their own tests, but still your mileage may vary, and with 50 live source streams you really should start towards the upper end of those AMIs, as incoming streams do use up considerably more resources in comparison to outgoing connections.
