Media Flow Controller Policy Configurations Overview

After you have your appliance network connections and basic settings configured, you are
ready to start configuring Media Flow Controller policy settings.

Note! Any time network configuration changes are made the delivery service (mod-delivery)
must be restarted with service restart mod-delivery. This includes initial configurations after
installation. In the Management Console, do this on the EZconfig page.

Setting Network Connection Options (CLI)

Before you configure Media Flow Controller network connection options, see
Configure Media Flow Controller" on page
Configure network connection settings (global Media Flow Controller defaults). The assured-
flow-rate and max-bandwidth options are available in virtual-player configurations, which
override network connection configurations.

Using Network Connection Assured Flow

Assured Flow™ is a function using the values configured for max-bandwidth, concurrent
session, and assured-flow rate (AFR). AFR is the rate that Media Flow Controller provisions
at the network level. For example, if a video encoded at 800 Kbps needs to be transferred over
HTTP that uses TCP/IP over Ethernet, you must account for the overheads of the HTTP, TCP,
IP, and Ethernet protocols. Usually, HTTP + TCP + IP + Ethernet overheads amount to 10 to
15%. With this in mind, AFR for a video encoded at 800 Kbps should be set to 900Kbps or
slightly higher. See
See network

Configuring Network Connections (CLI)

To configure network connections with the CLI:
1. Configure global network assured-flow-rate (minimum rate for a given session); default, 0
(zero), means assured flow is disabled (no minimum rate is provisioned). See
Controller AssuredFlow" on page 50
network connection assured-flow-rate {0 | <kbps>}
