rate
•
connection max-bandwidth
session bandwidth is between the AFR (Assured Flow Rate) and this value. Even if there
is available bandwidth in the link, Media Flow Controller does not allocate more than this
value for a session. When it is a full download, Media Flow Controller tries to allocate the
max-bandwidth to the session. Default is 0 (unbounded) with the Media Flow Controller
license, 200 kbps without it; you must have the license to change the unlicensed default.
Use no connection to reset default.
•
health-probe
Controller fetch data from origin and play it to the server initiating the health check. The
signal that a given HTTP request is for a health probe is the configured health-probe
query-string-parm <string>; if that value matches the following match <string> value,
the GET request is treated as a health probe. When servicing health probes Media Flow
Controller does not cache the data into disk or buffer. Use no health-probe to disable.
•
req-auth
(default is streamid), auth-id (default is authid), a configured shared-secret (default is
ysecret), and time-interval (default is 15 seconds); and match the computed value with
the specified match query-string-parm <string> (default is ticket). All arguments must
be configured. The session proceeds if the computed MD-5 hash matches; if there is no
match, the session is rejected. In prefix mode, use no req-auth to disable.
•
—Specify a string to implement FLV seek (allows the client player to seek to a
seek
specific location of the URL). In prefix mode, use no seek to disable. Optionally:
•
seek-length query-string-parm
of data to send from the seek start position; referenced value must be in bytes.
•
enable-tunnel
this option needs to be selected only when the origin site changes their seek
mechanism. Default is disabled.

virtual-player type smoothflow

Use type smoothflow (formerly type 4) virtual players to enable Adaptive Bit Rate delivery of
video to Adobe Flash players; set only those parameters you need. Use no virtual-player
<name> to delete. See
implementation details.

—Not supported in Release 2.0.4.
—Specify a string; referenced value must be in kilobytes.
—Define a static value, in kbps. A value of 0 (zero) means no throughput at all.
—Configure an external server to do health checks by making Media Flow
—Compute MD-5 hash of query string parameters representing stream-id
—If set, all seek requests to the origin server are tunneled; typically
