WHEP Load Tester

This is a tool for testing WHEP WebRTC playback performance. It launches the simultaneous playback of any number of sessions for a WHEP stream. This way you can test the capacity of your WebRTC WHEP solution and see its performance limits.

It's brought to you by Softvelum and it's part of our WebRTC bundle.

This tool is used for testing our WHEP ABR playback support in Nimble Streamer.
