Option Description
policy Defines how FASPStream manages the bandwidth. The policy can
be set to the following values:
•
•
•
•
min_rate Attempt to transfer no slower than the specified minimum transfer
rate.
target_rate The target transfer rate. Transfer at rates up to the specified target
rate. This option accepts suffixes T for terabits/s, G for gigabits/
s, M for megabits/s, K for kilobits/s, or B for bits/s. Decimals are
allowed. If this option is not set by the client, the setting in the
server's aspera.conf is used. If a rate cap is set in the local or
server aspera.conf, the rate does not exceed the cap.
tcp_port The port to use for SSH connections.
udp_port The port to use for UDP connections.
datagram_size The datagram size (MTU) for FASP.
cipher The encryption cipher that is used to encrypt streamed data in transit,
either NONE and AES128.
completion_timeout How long to wait before the session is considered complete. A
growing file is considered complete when no new data arrives within
the timeout period.
force_send_after Force FASPStream to send data after the given time, even if the
chunk is not full.
memory The maximum amount of memory FASPStream is allowed to use.
chunk_size Packet size for transfers over the network.
filters Select growing files to include in the package as those that match the
specified filters. Use the same syntax as in the "filters" object.
