Control the rate at which Akamai serves content to end-users. You can adjust the speed depending on file size or elapsed download time.
How it works
The behavior uses a bit rate and a threshold you define. Once the threshold is met, the content managed by your Property Manager configuration is delivered at that bit rate.
You can use it to prevent media downloads from progressing faster than they’re consumed or to set up various end-user experience tiers of delivery performance.
Features and options
| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| Bit Rate Limiting | Enables or disables the behavior. |
| Bit Rate | Specify a download rate that corresponds to the threshold. The bit rate is expressed as a two-member object consisting of a numeric value and its unit, either in Kbps, Mbps, or Gbps. |
| Threshold | Specify the minimum size of the file or the amount of elapsed download time before applying the bit rate limit from the corresponding Bit Rate entry. The threshold is expressed as a two-member object consisting of a numeric threshold value and its unit: either in bytes or seconds. |
