Configure your encoder to adhere to ingest rate limit guidelines.
When you publish MSL 4 streams to the shared infrastructure, your encoder needs to
adhere to these rate limit guidelines:
Attribute
Limit
Maximum number of hits per second for a stream rendition
10 hits/second
Maximum number of hits per second for a
streamID
100 hits/second
Maximum bitrate per rendition
45 Mbps
Aggregate maximum bitrate per streamID publishing
either primary OR backup stream
75 Mbps
Aggregate maximum bitrate per streamID publishing
both primary AND backup streams
150 Mbps
Minimum duration of a media segment
2 seconds
Maximum duration of a media segment
10 seconds
Maximum segment size
100 MB
If you exceed these limitations, a 429 response code will be sent to the
encoder.
ERROR_EXCEED_RL_MAX_SEGMENT_SIZE_LIMIT
ERROR_EXCEED_RL_RENDITION_HITS_LIMIT
ERROR_EXCEED_RL_RENDITION_BITS_LIMIT
ERROR_EXCEED_RL_STREAM_HITS_LIMIT
ERROR_EXCEED_RL_STREAM_BITS_LIMIT
This can cause disruption to the stream delivery for your viewers, so you should
configure your encoder to adhere to these guidelines.
These limits also apply to Ingest Accelerated streams. You’ll see a warning in the IAS client UI when the limits are exceeded.In this case, 429 responses are not sent back to the encoder to avoid disrupting the
entire stream. Check the email that is set up to receive alert notifications to understand the
ingest limits violated.
