This is not possible with Windows Media Services. Have you tried the IIS Media Pack?

Hello, It is very difficult to guess what is going on here. Would you have network traces / WMI traces that you can share for each machine? Regards Vishal

Hi Maurius What you mention is correct. I omitted explanation of caching in the context of my previous reply to keep it simple. In the previous email I sent, the cache.microsoft.com will look at the request client sent (origin.microsoft.com/a.wmv) and look for the HOST hearder in the request. It will...

Hi Mauris You do not need to set the Origin server. The request from the client will have origin server in the request itself.

They use 64bit Windows Server 2008 but the server only has 2G ram installed. In server 2008, the network thgouthput is almost 950mbps. So they need to add more NIC and RAM to support more concurrent users.

Hi Robert, This is great news. Are you using 32 bit servers? If you use 64 bit servers, you can get even better scalability. For building a cache proxy plug-in by yourself, a great starting point is http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms741639(VS.85).aspx Regards Vishal

I have good new and bad news: Good news is media service on Windows Sever 2008 performs 50% better than Windows 2003 with same hardware. We test with live streaming of 600kbps, 1500 concurrent users on Windows 2008 runs very smooth while 1000 concurrent users on Windows 2003 runs out all ram and start...
