Limit connection rate to harbor sources
---------------------------------------
Key: LS-505
URL: http://dev.sourcefabric.org/browse/LS-505
Project: Liquidsoap
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Liquidsoap
Affects Versions: 1.0
Environment: any
Reporter: Romeo
It will be very usefull to have a feature that limits connection rate to harbor
mount points in order to prevent broadcasting via poor quality internet
connections.
For example, we have 2 harbor mount points on radiovkontakte.ru - playlist.ogg
and live.ogg. They are connected by switch operator and live has greater
priority. But when there's a live broadcast from a club via ADSL, 4G (Moblie
WiMAX) or any other asynchronous connection it's sometimes not enough bandwidth
to feed a harbor source. This results in a constant live client reconnection
and switching between live/playlist. This process is very annoying for
listeners and makes them go away from our station. The live shows cannot be
controlled for the quality every time they starts ( as we have about 3 per day
) and even if we have noticed that a DJ has a poor bandwidth it's not always
possible to bring the live show down.
It will be great to have a control over a connection rate parameter per IP or
per client basis (or just a limit at first) like iptables have. Say I put
connection limit of 2 times per minute and when it comes over that rate, the
mount point becomes locked for a certain period of time for that IP or client
(e.g. 2 hours - an average time of the live mix). This will prevent poor
quality shows from going live.
We use an iptables limit at the moment but it doesn't have enough flexibility
for our purposses.
