RealServer lets you control how much of your network resources are dedicated to media by letting you specify how much bandwidth RealServer can use. You can also control how many clients can simultaneously connect to RealServer.
A detailed description of each setting follows the table.
Setting |
Description |
ClientConnections | The maximum number of simultaneous client connections to RealServer. |
MaxBandwidth | The maximum bandwidth that RealServer can use on particular network connection. |
Maximum number of simultaneous client connections. The number of connections that RealServer can support is determined by the license you purchase unless you are using a remote license server. You can set a lower limit than that specified by your license.
The maximum number of connections cannot exceed the maximum number that the bandwidth of your network connection supports. If ClientConnections is not specified, RealServer uses the number of streams specified by your license. If a LicenseKey is not specified or if your license key expires, RealServer allows a minimum of 2 streams.
A value of 0 means to use the maximum number of streams allowed by the license key. To specify a greater number of connections than the license on this computer allows, obtain additional streams from a remote license server.
Default value | Licensed number of streams |
Range of values | 0, 1 - 32767 |
ClientConnections <integer>
ClientConnections 750
Maximum bandwidth (in Kbps) that RealServer can use out of the total bandwidth capacity of a particular network connection.
Default value | 0 |
Range of values | Positive Integers |
The value 0 means bandwidth is limited indirectly by the number of simultaneous streams that RealServer can support. The maximum number of simultaneous streams is determined by the lesser of ClientConnections and the number of licensed streams.
MaxBandwidth <number>
MaxBandwidth 750
Restricts RealServer to using half of a T1 connection's capacity.
