WHEP Load Tester tool to test WebRTC performance

Softvelum team has been implementing various WebRTC features for some time now and you can see results in our WebRTC bundle.

As part of WHEP ABR playback support in Nimble Streamer, we had to create some additional tools in order to test our own solution.

Introducing WHEP Load Tester.

It's 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.

Feel free to use it and let us know of your experience and thoughts on it.
