Configuring Video Optimization over TCP 编辑

Warning:

As part of video optimization, the video pacing functionality is deprecated and will be removed from the Citrix ADC appliance in forthcoming releases.

To optimize video traffic over TCP, begin by enabling the video optimization feature. The appliance then activates the built-in detection policies to detect the incoming video traffic and identify the type of video. User configurable optimization policies for each video type specify the optimization bit rate needed for optimizing the traffic.

Configuring Video Optimization over TCP by using the CLI

To configure video optimization on a Citrix ADC appliance, you perform the following tasks:

1. Enable the video optimization feature.
2. Add virtual servers for HTTP and HTTPS traffic.
3. Bind all the built-in detection policies to a load balancing virtual server for HTTP traffic.
4. Bind all the built-in detection policies to an SSL-bridge load balancing virtual server for HTTPS traffic.
5. Add the desired optimization policies for HTTP and HTTPS traffic.
6. Bind optimization policies to a load balancing virtual server for HTTP Traffic.
7. Bind optimization policies to an SSL-bridge load balancing virtual server for HTTPS traffic.

Enabling Video Optimization

If you want the Citrix ADC appliance to detect, optimize, and report video traffic, you must enable the Video Optimization feature and set optimization to ON. After enabling the feature you can use built-in detection policies to identify the incoming video traffic, and you can configure optimization policies to optimize encrypted ABR traffic. To optimize ABR video traffic, you must configure the download bit rate (also called the pacing rate).

You must also enable the load balancing feature, and if you want to use video optimization for HTTPS traffic you must enable the SSL feature.

To enable the video optimization feature

At the command prompt, type the following command:

enable ns feature VideoOptimization
