I have some more details below, but my main question is, does anyone know of a bandwidth test/simulator I can run on the network to see how the load is doing and if this is even possible? My last resort is to manually go to each classroom and go the webpage, but I need to do something to make sure we don't creash the network on launch day. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Details
  • School Bandwith is from local cable company. Speeds are 12/1.75
  • We've been lucky enough to partner with Influxis for streaming bandwith, so we will not be connecting to a Ustream or Justin, but to a simple webpage running Influxis embed. on a webserver on the nwtwork
  • I'm not sure about all the specs, but I believe the school has a pretty beefy infastrcuture.
Pushing to 35 classrooms simultaneously on 1.75 up is gonna be very hard to pull off. My school does a morning broadcast and we go over CCTV. It works great and we have no issues. Good luck!!
