Using namespace for Live Streaming Delivery With Caching

An example namespace configuration to deliver live streaming objects with caching is given;
the delivery protocol and live-pub-point commands both enter you to prefix mode.
namespace <name>
match uri <uri-prefix>
origin-server rtsp <IP_address | hostname> [port]
status active
delivery protocol rtsp
exit
live-pub-point <pp_ name>
receive-mode on-demand
status active
caching enable
exit
exit

Using namespace for Proxy Configurations

You can use namespace settings to configure Media Flow Controller to operate as a proxy in
various ways.
•
Reverse Proxy—Setting namespace origin-server to <FQDN> or server-map implies a
reverse proxy configuration. Media Flow Controller as an edge cache is effectively a
reverse proxy that reduces network and CPU load on an origin server by serving
previously-retrieved content, and enhances user experience by decreasing latency.
•
Mid-Tier Proxy—Setting namespace origin-server to absolute-url implies a mid-tier
proxy configuration. As a mid-tier proxy, Media Flow Controller must be explicitly
configured in the browser to intercept all requests. After Media Flow Controller receives
traffic from the client, it separates the traffic; cacheable requests are sent via Media Flow
Controller for performance enhanced delivery. Non-cacheable requests are tunnelled. See
also "Configuring Media Flow Controller Mid-Tier Proxy (CLI)" on page
•
Transparent Proxy—Setting namespace origin-server to follow header HOST or X-
NKN or follow dest-ip (with or without the use-client-ip argument) implies a transparent
proxy configuration. A transparent proxy is one that requires no browser configuration and
is not readily visible to end-users. As a transparent proxy where origin-server access is
derived from the HOST header, the X-NKN header, or the destination IP address given in
the incoming request, explicit origin-server configuration is disallowed. Use this as an
alternate to providing a single origin server address. Be sure that delivery protocol http
allow-req is set to all (default). See also
