When planning how to publish, you should bear in mind these network and bandwidth considerations:
Using a CCS requires both the iCC and the subscriber to be able to connect to it through a local network or the internet.
l
Using network-based publication will not work if there is a problem with connectivity or if the credentials provided by the
l
subscriber for either the iCC or the CCS are incorrect.
Bandwidth use depends on the layouts and media being published as well as the number of subscribers. Large media files
l
take time to transfer and this increases the time before the subscribers begin playing the channel. However, after the
subscriber downloads the media, it will only need to download new or updated items later.
Subscribers periodically poll the publishing source for channel updates. If you do not update your channel frequently, then
l
save bandwidth by decreasing the rate at which the subscribers check for new content. You need to balance this with it
taking longer for the subscribers to display new content when you do change it.
