How to globally limit the bandwidth of FMS 3.5

Hi all,
Can you give me a hint on how to solve this or confirm me the following ?
Is it possible to limit globally the bandwidth usage of FMS 3.5 ?
I don't want FMS to use all the bandwidth available via our ISP.
I want my coworkers and other servers to be able to continue using Internet while sending/receiving data from/to FMS
I know it is possible to limit various bandwidths per Applications, but it seems there is no easy way - using the xml config files - to globally limit the server bandwidth.Ok I could compute a limit per app, but it is not a long terme solution to modify all the config files each time a new applications is to be installed.
So I think it is not possible to easily limit globally the bandwidth of FMS.
Do you agree with me ?
If not, how did you manage this : do you have an example, some code ?
Thanks for your answers
Fred

Thanks for the try, though I'd hope you aimed at a another solution
I think your proposition is not possible this way, because:
(It is for streaming only )
1) say we have a BW of 100 [Mb/s] available for this FMS.
2) the individual bw needed by the media files (indbw) within an application ranges from 200 [kb/s] to 2000[kb/s] (some files are audio, others medium quality video, some good quality video)
3) the BandwidthCap (in application.xml) is per connection within the application. (to simplify the talk we choose a BandwidthCap = indbw )
4) the MaxConnections (in vhost.xml) is per vhost
The question is "which indbw one chooses to divide the available 100 [Mb/s] BW" : ( MaxConnections = BW divided by BandwidthCap )
Two possibilities:
A) Let's take audio only indbw, that's 200 [kb/s], then FMS can serve 500 connections
B) Let's take good quality vid indbw, that's 20000 [kb/s], then FMS would be limited to 50 connections.
Both ways are not good : in A) we risk jamming the internet link if too many of the connections are in fact streaming video, in B) we can not serve enough people and will likely waste some BW sinc not all clients will stream good quality video.
Does anyone has another hint about " how to globally limiting the bandwidth of Flash Media Server 3.5" ?

How do i extend the bandwidth of my system

The control problem I am having is extending the bandwidth of a force control system. The system is used to apply mechanical load to bone to facilitate research into Osteoporosis. The following concisely describes the system and the different things I have tried to solve the problem,. I imagine it is quite lengthy compared to the usual questions but any advice you have to offer to a Mechanical engineer would be much appreciated.
System Description:
I am using Labview (with Flex motion) to program the NI 7344 motion control servo board (PID update rate of 62.4 micro-seconds). This output signal is then amplified by the MID 7654 power amplifier, supplying current to a Voice coil (this can be considered as a Linear DC motor with a bandwidth of 40Hz). This applies the force to a bone sample. Feedback is then provided by a load cell and connected to the ADC feedback channel of the servo board. (For full specs of all mentioned components please refer to the web links which are listed at the end of this email!)
Problem description:
After optimally tuning the PID characteristics and defining the amplitude and pre-load, I can successfully control a continuous, sinusoidally varying force (frequency 1Hz), however when I try to increase the frequency to 10Hz, the amplitude of the output waveform is marginally reduced�i.e. there is attenuation. I know that the bone sample is not viscoelastic enough to act as a low pass filter. The bandwidth of the Voice coil is not a limiting factor either, so�..
How do I extend the bandwidth of this system?
The following Paragraph describes some of the things I have tried, which have had some or no influence. Being a mechanical engineer I would be grateful for any expert advice.
(Note all results have been verified with an oscilloscope where applicable)
Influential Factors:
1) Method of programming.
To generate the wave form a series of points describing one period are written to a circular buffer on the servo board. The points are executed in 10 milli-second intervals and are splined through using a cubic spline algorithm (hence a period described by 100 points gives us a frequency of 1Hz and a 10 point wave gives us 10Hz). All this happens on the servo board in real time. I am confident that although the integrity of the sine wave is reduced at 10 Hz the amplitude is still described within the 10 points and so is not the reason for attenuation. However this does limit the maximum frequency achievable. (I would say the max frequency is about 20Hz)
2) Redefining the resolution of the of the ADC Feedback
The 12 bit ADC feedback channel is scanned at a rate of 50 micro seconds (faster than the loop update rate which is 62.4 micro-seconds). Initially the voltage range was specified at -/+ 10 V giving 20/(2^12) Volts per significant bit, however I noticed that when I increased the resolution to the max possible by changing the range to 0-5 V (giving 5/(2^12) volts per significant bit), the amount of attenuation was reduced, however there was still some attenuation there. This begs another question why would this factor improve the frequency response???
3) PID characteristics
The system gives an optimum step response when using only a pure integral term and setting Kp= 0, Kd= 0. It seems as though the fastest step response is limited to about 6 milli-seconds. The system is fine tuned and any slight increase in the integral term results in immediate instability. Therefore there is no scope to improve the system bandwidth by altering the PID characteristics.
Can you offer me any expert advice?
Considering this information, what would you advise? Do I need a board with a faster loop update rate ?, I have considered using Labview Real Time, which offers a board with a 26 KHz update rate as apposed to the 16Hz (62.4 micro-seconds) provided by the current board). Do I need to use different control algorithms as apposed to PID, if so which ones???
Any help or advice you have to offer would be much appreciated and could help in the battle against osteoporosis. Should you require more information or would like to speak to me send me an email and I can answer any further questions or give you a ring.

Hi Duncan,
i'm sorry that this answer took this long, but i think a constructive answer which takes a long time is better than a useless answer in a short time....
For the following thought-provoking impulses we have to consider the signal-change when increasing the frequency. The points which describe the signal get streched over the period. Increasing the frequency enlarges the distance between the points.
a) The spline algorithm could be the problem here hence the signal does not correctly pass through the points anymore with increased frequency. Therefor the amplitude decreases with increased frequency. Perharps another kind of spline algorithm can be helpful.
b) Another point can be the control deviation. Since a feedback control system needs a devia
tion for the control, the deviation gets larger when increasing the frequency of the controlled loop. Maybe the control loop has to set the desired value when already getting to a new point. So the signal could get "washy" and the maximum amplitude is reduced.
In this case, the "Velocity Feedforward"-parameter could be of use. This parameter is to use with caution for it can have similar effects like a too high chosen integral term.
c) You can try to set the 7344 to circular contour. Therefor use 2 axis where you use the second axis as dummy (open step). There is a major disadvantage in this setup: since you use 2 axes at the same time, the 7344 can update each axis only with 125 microseconds. But perharps this is sufficient. Either way the parameter of the control loop have to be adapted (integral term reduced).
d) If the 125 microseconds describend in c) is insufficient, you can try to test it with a 7352. The 7352 can handle 2 axis at a time with a update rate of 62.5 microse
conds for each axis.
I hope this answer helps you in solving your rather special issue.

How can I limit the number of emails retained on my ipad air?

How can I limit the number of emails that are retained on my iPad Air? Because of legal requirements of a long-term project, I cannot permanently delete emails relating to that project from my ISP's mail server. My gmail account contains over 17,000 emails and, upon setting up my new iPad, and updating to ios 7.1.1, I now have all 17,000+ emails taking up space. I would like to limit the emails by count as I was able to do on my old iPad running ios 5.1.1 OR to retain them based on date range. I have not found any instructions on the support discussions or general iPad blogs that allow me to do that. Any way around this problem?
I also miss the 5.1.1 mail search feature that allowed me to narrow the search by from/to/subject/all. Does anyone know if that feature is available using some little-known ios 7.1.1 feature?
Thanks for your help.

If you have a decent mail provider like Microsoft Hotmail or Outlook.com mail it does.
If you have Gmail it does not. Quite right. Gmail is rubbish.

I have limited space on my new ipad. How can I limit the number of songs from my itunes on my imac from going to my ipad when I connect the two?

you can do this by keeping the external hard drive connected and doing the following
-hold shift key down on computer while opening iTunes and a prompt will appear to choose a library
-select choose library, iTunes should bring up your explorer windows where you can search for the external HD
-after you find the external HD find the iTunes folder you just copied to it
-after opening the iTunes folder look for the file that says iTunes library.itl or if you can't see that extenstion just look for a document looking thing in the iTunes folder that shows up as a database file
-double click the database file and boom iTunes should load your library without having to copy it to the computer
PS: do make sure that if you are going to do it this way, make sure that the external HD is connected at all times, because if you don't then you will get exclamation marks next to your iTunes songs
double PS: if you are unsure how to find out if the iTunes library file is a database file just right click it and choose properties and under the type it should say database file
hope this helps:)

Hi, how can I limit the number of emails I can see on my iPhone 5. Every time in delete one and older email gets added from my live.co.uk account (where I want to keep my 2500 emails) I just don't want many on my phone. Thanks

You can't. Why on earth would you attempt to manage 2500 emails with setting up a folder structure or some means of doing so? Simply keeping them in an single inbox is not realistic, no matter what email client you use.

How do I limit the number of rows retrieved at a time using RefCursor?

I have a PL/SQL package in use, that returns a REF CURSOR. This is currently being used in a Forms 6i application. Now I want to develop an ASP.NET web application that displays exactly the same information as my Forms 6i module. In fact those two applications will be used concurrently for a while.
I looked at the sample code provided on otn.oracle.com and decided to use the OracleDataAdapter.Fill()-method to fill a dataset and bind that dataset to a pageable GridView. Now I wonder, whether this method retrieves ALL records of the query at once and how I can limit the number of rows fetched? The Select statement retrieves up to 10000 rows at a time. Most of the time, a user is only interested in the first 20-30 rows. Forms 6i fetches more rows as the user scrolls down, how can I implement the same behavior in ODP.NET?
- Markus

Excuse me, but the reply does not quite answer my question. Maybe I did not explain my concerns clear enough:
I understand the use of the two properties (RowSize and FetchSize) to reduce the amount of round trips needed to transfer the data - not the number of rows fetched in total. This would still lead to a situation where all rows are transferred, when I am using the OracleDataAdapter.Fill()-Method. Is this correct or did I misunderstand the function of this method?
I quote the otherwise really helpful article you send me:
Of course, there is a cost if the fetch size is arbitrarily large. More client-side memory and processor cycles will be needed to store and manage a larger amount of data. The goal is to find a high-performing balance between the number of round trips and the amount of data retrieved per trip.
My RowSize is for sure a bit larger than the one in the given example. The query will probably be used by up to 100 users at a time, so I would like to limit the resource-costs not only on the network by the number of round trips, but also on the web-server which is storing all these records in it's memory per user-request.

You need to delete your current hotmail account set up on your iphone.
Once this has done click 'Add Account' and select the new 'outlook.com' tab.
Set up your hotmail account again from scratch and this will then allow you to select how many weeks/months of emails you sync to your phone.
Im not sure if anyone else had a similar problem to me prior to iOS 7, but if i deleted an email from my hotmail account on my iphone - it wouldnt sync with my actual hotmail account. So when i logged in online all the emails I had deleted on my phone would still be showing as unread.
But by setting the account up as above, they now sync perfectly.
Well for me anyway

How we can limit the number of concurrent calls to a WCF service without use the Singleton pattern or without do the change in BizTalk Configuration file?

How can we send only one message to a WCF service at a time? How we can limit the number of concurrent calls to a WCF service without use the Singleton pattern or without do the change in BizTalk Configuration file? Can we do it by Host throttling?

Hi Pawan,
You need to use WCF-Custom adapter and add the ServiceThrottlingBehavior service behavior to a WCF-Custom Locations.
ServiceThrottlingBehavior.MaxConcurrentCalls - Gets or sets a value that specifies the maximum number of messages actively processing across a ServiceHost. The MaxConcurrentCalls property specifies the maximum number of messages actively
processing across a ServiceHost object. Each channel can have one pending message that does not count against the value of MaxConcurrentCalls until WCF begins to process it.

How do I delete excess email messages from my iPhone. There are 300 messages listed, and every time I delete some, more are added from old messages. How do I limit the number of messages that can appear on my phone? How can I delete messages in bulk,

You can't.
All photos transferred from your computer are stored in the Photo Library. The photos in the album or albums below are not duplicates - they include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. This way you can view the photos in a particular album only by selecting the album, or you can view all photos available in all albums by selecting Photo Library.
Just as with an iTunes playlist. A song cannot be in an iTunes playlist unless the song is in the main iTunes library. Placing a song in a playlist does not duplicate the song. Remove the main iTunes library or the songs from the main iTunes library that are in a playlist and the songs will no longer be in the playlist either. This way you can listen to the songs in the playlist only by selecting the playlist, or all songs in your entire iTunes library by selecting Music under Library in the iTunes source list.
The same with iPhoto on a Mac. A photo cannot be in an in iPhoto Event or Album unless the photo is in the main iPhoto library. Placing a photo in an Event or Album does not duplicate the photo. This way you can view the photos in an iPhoto Event or Album only by selecting the Event or Album, or all photos in all Events or Albums.

How do i limit the number of simultaneous downloads to my ipod touch?

I just purchased a new ipod touch and want to dump my entire icloud library onto it. I figured the easiest way to do this would be to make a smart playlist that includes all my music and then just download the whole playlist (thousands of songs). The problem is, at about 2/3 of the way through a track, the ipod touch automatically starts downloading the next track. At this point, it's trying to download about 50 tracks simultaneously and as a result is taking abotu 5 minutes to download one song. How can I limit the number of simultaneous downloads? Is there a faster way to load up a new ipod touch with your icloud library? Thanks.

Thank you for the reply. I had no idea I had so much access to Firefox prefs.
It's still a strange design though. Yep, the original setting was set to 30 simultaneous downloads. I set it to four, which would see to make my Mac more usable as four downloads are rolling while all the rest are in queue.
Only probably is, Firefox doesn't just think of what is in the download list as a "download". Once all four downloads are rolling, no more webpages will open! (Strangely, sometimes they will, but very slowly ... but usually not at all.)
Apparently, even a browser tab is a "download" and is stopped once the assigned number of simultaneous downloads is reached.
So I'm still back to not being able to limit my downloads for the benefit of having good use of my browser while downloads are coming in.
Right now, one pages where I have boo-koo downloads I want to initiate at one time, I'm clicking "download", starting the download, going to the downloads list, pausing it, getting another download, pausing it, and so on until I have a complete queue ready to go. Then I start the downloads once I know that I no longer need the internet.
That seems sort of for the birds, doesn't it?
Does anyone have any suggestions? Other specialized download programs get the concept of an active queue and a paused queue with a number-setting to determine the max downloads. Why doesn't Firefox get this? Or does it and have I just still not found it?
