Hi all,
I’m evaluating Dynamic Load Balancer AddOn as a solution to balance incoming RTMP streams on two or more wowza server.
In our scenario balancing decision must be based on the name of the incoming stream: stream names starting with the same string must be sent to the same server
In example:
stream 1234_Alice connects and is redirected to server1 which is the least loaded at the moment,
stream ABCD_Alice connects and is redirected to server2 which is the least loaded at the moment,
Then stream 1234_Bob arrives and it needs to be redirected to the very same server as 1234_Alice was, no matter load or bandwidth, they need to be on the same wowza server.
How can achieve this? (BTW, is the example clear?)
I’ve read the Dynamic Load Balancer AddOn 4.5 documentation, but could not really figure out how can I customize the decision process.
The documentation mentions a loadbalanceServerProcessClasses property defined as:
A pipe-separated list of classes to load for server decision-making. When this property is set, it overrides all default decision classes. If any of the classes are not found, it is reported but won’t stop the Load Balancer from starting.
But I can not figure out if those loadbalanceServerProcessClasses can include custom classes implementing a common interface or am I on the wrong track ?
Thanks in advance for any help
Best Regards
Silvia
