I mentioned earlier that I wanted to experiment with clustering using docker swarm for the kms service.
I wanted to establish a base line using one container for kms. All the components are in one Linode with 8 GB of RAM. For this experiment. I start entering the video and whiteboard room from my admin login from Firefox on one laptop. I allowed both video and microphone and the video pod was the lowest resolution. I generate a guest url to the room. On another laptop also on the same connection to the internet I enter the room on firefox and allow both video ( lowest resolution) and microphone on a new tab each time. Up to 4 guest clients load quickly and the pods are created almost immediately on all 5 tabs. On the first attempt on the 5th guest the pod for this guest on the admin laptop took a couple of minutes to load the video. On the 5th guest tab, the pods for guest 1, 2 and 4 would not refresh( pod frames present but no video. RAM and CPU usage was not significant on the server. I closed the tabs for all the guests and redid the experiment, The first 4 guests again loaded quickly without any issues. The 5th guest loaded to completion but took about 40 seconds for all 6 tabs to complete. On the 6th guest there were multiple connection drops and retries and the tabs were reduced to about 3 pods working, the others gone, this was on all tabs. So based on this it seems that up to 5 users using both video and microphone seem to work fine. Does this agree with anyone else's experience? I had from other posts that we can expect 14-15 users per kms instance. Does both laptop on the same network have any influence on this? I will try a swarm next after I gets some feedback.
