Models for monitoring of streaming server performance

摘要

Methods and systems thereof for monitoring a streaming media server are described. Calibration data for the server is used to identify a server resource that reaches its respective limit before other server resources reach their respective limits as loads on the server are increased. The calibration data characterizes usage of the server's resources under a plurality of different loads including a saturation load. The saturation load causes the server to fail to satisfy a predefined quality-of-service criterion. The server resource is monitored to determine whether the server is approaching the saturation load with the server in service in a content delivery network.
