Hi,

i'm testing HLS and HDS right now and i'm wondering how to limit users and bandwidth per virtualhost. I mean in rtmp mode there is the vhost.xml tag far max users and  the Application.xml tag for Bandwidth limit, but for http connections (either live or on vod) where can i limit connections or bandwidth?

Thanks

    Hi Zeromega,

    HLS and HDS are nothing but the Apache modules, so all HTTP based configurations are inside httpd.conf. Though I have little idea and my self experiment with the same, but there is a apache module mod_bw.so that may serve what you want. Here is a googling provided me for you : http://www.directadmin.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-14782.html

    Similarly, you may get answers for general HTTP based configurations on Apache forums/articles/docs

    Please share your experiments with the same.

    Dear Nitin,

    thanks for your answer. Yes i use this module just for html sites on Apache, but if fms cannot limit users or bandwidth itself for http streamings so i guess i will test this module on hds/hls as well.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Only the live stream publisher connects to the FMS. Subscribers are only attached to the Apache. It was redundant on FMS part to do all subscriber's management specifics for the HTTP streaming, when Apache already provides them all. Also, it is even good for people as its easier for them to deploy with their experience with existing Apache facilites rather understanding something new provided by the FMS in this respect.

    I hope it helps..
