How to Limit Server to Client Bandwidth for VOD

We allow user to upload their video to have VOD on a streaming server.

I am using the following in Adobe Flash Media Server to Control/Limit Server to Client Bandwidth for VOD:

200000

7000000

However, I find that this code cannot be used in WOWZA (version 2.2).

Is there any setting that I can configure to limit the playback of VOD to 200,000 byte/sec or 1,500kbit/sec?

Best Rgds,

Rocky.

There is not a way to limit streaming like that in Wowza, but you can use Wowza to calculate the bitrate of video that was uploaded:

Then you might refuse to play it. You could adapt the above to this method of overriding play command:
