Behavior name: Content Characteristics - Streaming Video Live

Specifies characteristics of the delivered content, specifically targeted to delivering live video. Akamai uses this information to optimize your metadata configuration, which may result in better origin offload and end-user performance.

Along with other behaviors whose names are prefixed content_characteristics, this behavior is customized for a specific product set. Use PAPI's List available behaviors operation to determine the set available to you. See also the related client_characteristics and origin_characteristics behaviors.
