Hello,

Bandwidth can not be set/adjusted on per stream level...However total bandwidth can be set for a particular application...if an application has only one stream hence bandwidth restrictions that apply on that application will ultimately to applied on that stream too.

You need to have aplication specific Application.xml for this since application specific xml will override global application.xml..The application specific xml resides in root folder to specifric application.

As for the exact tags that control this See application.xml for details...A sample excerpt is as below.

<Client>

  <Bandwidth override="yes">

  <!-- Specified in bytes/sec. The default provides about 20Mbps. -->

  <ServerToClient>2500000</ServerToClient>

  <!-- Specified in bytes/sec -->

  <ClientToServer>2500000</ClientToServer>

  </Bandwidth>

  <!-- Bandwidth cannot be set higher than the value set here. -->

  <BandwidthCap override="no">

  <!-- Specified in bytes/sec -->

  <ServerToClient>5000000</ServerToClient>

  <!-- Specified in bytes/sec -->

  <ClientToServer>5000000</ClientToServer>

  </BandwidthCap>

Also -- According to the documentation, the bandwith CAN be set per client. Is this incorrect ??

https://helpx.adobe.com/adobe-media-server/ssaslr/client-class.html#client_setbandwidthlimit

Client.setBandwidthLimit()

1

clientObject.setBandwidthLimit(iServerToClient, iClientToServer)

Note:

This method is not supported over RTMFP connections.

    

Sets the maximum bandwidth for this client from client to server, server to client, or both. The default value for a connection is set for each application in the Client section of the Application.xml file. The value specified cannot exceed the bandwidth cap value specified in the Application.xml file. For more information, see BandwidthCap in the Adobe Media Server Configuration and Administration Guide.

You can call this method from a client-side script. Call the NetConnection.call() method and pass it the name of the method, a result object, and any arguments, as in the following:var re:Responder = new Responder(res); function res(info) { trace(info); for (var i:String in info) { trace(i + " - " + info); } } nc.call("setBandwidthLimit", re, 125000, 125000);

var re:Responder = new Responder(res);

function res(info) {    

     trace(info);

     for (var i:String in info) { trace(i + " - " + info); }

}

nc.call("setBandwidthLimit", re, 125000, 125000);

    

Availability

    

Flash Communication Server 1

    

Parameters

  

iServerToClient

A number; the bandwidth from server to client, in bytes per second. Use 0 if you don’t want to change the current setting.

  

iClientToServer

A number; the bandwidth from client to server, in bytes per second. Use 0 if you don’t want to change the current setting.

    

Example

    

The following example sets the bandwidth limits for each direction, based on values passed to the onConnect() function:

1

application.onConnect = function(newClient, serverToClient, clientToServer){

    newClient.setBandwidthLimit(serverToClient, clientToServer);

    application.acceptConnection(newClient);

}
