You can provide multiple-player access to live MMS and RTSP streams by creating an Excelerator proxy service (forward, transparent, or reverse) between the origin streaming server and the requesting players. Excelerator 2.3 automatically "splits" the live stream. In other words, it retrieves a single stream from the origin streaming server and then serves that stream to many requesting players.
While most origin streaming servers can handle only a relatively small number of simultaneous player connections, Excelerator 2.3 has been tested at over 26,000 connections for MMS live streams. Excelerator 2.3 lets you increase the availability of live stream broadcasts by orders of magnitude without installing additional streaming servers. At the same time, Excelerator frees up the origin streaming server's connection bandwidth for handling other content requests.
Excelerator's feature of splitting live streams lets you service thousands of player requests with very little impact on your origin streaming server and network.
