Behavior name: Bit Rate Limiting
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
.
