Category: Caching
Purpose: Determines whether the response provided by our edge servers will be throttled after a predefined time interval.
This feature should not be leveraged on requests that throttle bandwidth through query string parameters (i.e., ec_rate and ec_prebuf).
Both of the following options must be defined to properly set up bandwidth throttling.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
|
Prebuf seconds |
Set this option to the number of seconds that our edge servers will wait until throttling bandwidth. The purpose of this time period of unrestricted bandwidth is to prevent a media player from experiencing stuttering or buffering issues due to bandwidth throttling. |
|
Kbytes per second |
Set this option to the maximum bandwidth (Kb per second) that may be used to deliver the response. |
Default Behavior: Off.
