limit_bit

Property Manager name: Bit Rate Limiting
Behavior version: The v2024-01-09 rule format supports the limit_bit_rate behavior v1.2.
Rule format status: GA, stable
Access: Read/Write
Allowed in includes: Yes

Control the rate at which content serves out to end users, optionally varying the speed depending on the file size or elapsed download time. Each bit rate specified in the bitrate_table array corresponds to a threshold_table entry that activates it. You can use this behavior to prevent media downloads from progressing faster than they are viewed, for example, or to differentiate various tiers of end-user experience. To apply this behavior, you should match on a content_type, path, or filename.

Option	Type	Description
`enabled`	boolean	When enabled, activates the bit rate limiting behavior.	{"displayType":"boolean","tag":"input","type":"checkbox"}
`bitrate_table`	object array	Specifies a download rate that corresponds to a `threshold_table` entry. The bit rate appears as a two-member object consisting of a numeric `bitrate_value` and a `bitrate_unit` string, with allowed values of `Kbps`, `Mbps`, and `Gbps`.	{"displayType":"object array","tag":"input","todo":true} {"if":{"attribute":"enabled","op":"eq","value":true}}
`bitrate_table[].bitrate_value`	number	The numeric indicator of the download rate.	{"displayType":"number","tag":"input","type":"number"}
`bitrate_table[].bitrate_unit`	enum	The unit of measurement, either `KBPS`, `MBPS`, or `GBPS`.	{"displayType":"enum","options":["KBPS","MBPS","GBPS"],"tag":"select"}
		Supported values: GBPS KBPS MBPS
`threshold_table`	object array	Specifies the minimum size of the file or the amount of elapsed download time before applying the bit rate limit from the corresponding `bitrate_table` entry. The threshold appears as a two-member object consisting of a numeric `threshold_value` and `threshold_unit` string, with allowed values of `SECONDS` or `BYTES`.	{"displayType":"object array","tag":"input","todo":true} {"if":{"attribute":"enabled","op":"eq","value":true}}
`threshold_table[].threshold_value`	number	The numeric indicator of the minimum file size or elapsed download time.	{"displayType":"number","tag":"input","type":"number"}
`threshold_table[].threshold_unit`	enum	The unit of measurement, either `SECONDS` of the elapsed download time, or `BYTES` of the file size.	{"displayType":"enum","options":["BYTES","SECONDS"],"tag":"select"}
		Supported values: BYTES SECONDS
