Limit Number of Incoming Connections (Live Streams)

Hello,

Is there any way to limit the number of number of incoming connections i.e. number streams that can be published to a application/server?

So far I found Maximum Connections <https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-configure-security-using-wowza-streaming-engine-manager#maximum_connections>, but this setting applies to connections of any type (incoming or outgoing).

If Wowza does not offer such limit, can it be done using a custom module (using the Server-side API)?

Thanks.

Hello there.

There is nothing built-in to Wowza to do this, but you can do it with a custom module. Take a look at this module as a starting place:

Also take a look at this HTTPProvider for examples:

If you need assistance with this, please consider posting a request to the find a consultant forum.
