What To Keep In Mind About This Value
This can benefit clients by preventing buffer saturation through over-delivery and can also deliver a community benefit through fair-share delivery. The concept is that each client receives the throughput necessary for great performance, but no more. The CDN may not support the rtp feature.
Developer Notes
Values MUST be rounded to the nearest 100kbps. For example, a client would indicate that the current segment, encoded at 2Mbps, is to be delivered at no more than 10Mbps, by using rtp=10000.
