This was accomplished in the Configuring Delivery Services section on page 11. Step 1 In a web browser on the client PC, enter the URL of the preingested HTML content using the Service Routing Domain Name in the URL. In the example, this is Client requests are directed to this domain name and are then redirected by the Service Router to the content on the Service Engine. Figure 17 shows the initial URL on the left and the redirection on the right. Figure 17 URL Redirection for Preingested Content Step 2 On the Service Engines, verify that the request was served as a preingested hit. View the HTTP request statistics by starting an SSH session and entering the show statistics http requests command. In this case, the Service Router redirected the request to NE-DEMO-SE2, which served the request.

20 Testing Dynamically Ingested Web Content Step 1 In a web browser on the client PC, enter the URL of non-preingested HTML content on the Service Router. This is content that exists on the Content Origin server or some other server that is accessible but not yet preingested. In the example, the Content Origin server has a directory test_cache with a content object test.html. Figure 18 shows the initial URL on the left and the redirection on the right. Figure 18 URL Redirection for Non-Preingested Content Step 2 This is a cache miss scenario. Neither Service Engine had the content preingested, so the content is acquired by NE-DEMO-SE1 (the Content Acquirer). The content is then cached and replicated to NE-DEMO-SE2 (the receiver, which also happens to be the SE that is serving this client request). NE-DEMO-SE2 then serves the request (as visible by the new URL in Figure 18), having cached the content as well. View the HTTP request statistics by entering the show statistics http requests command. NE-DEMO-SE1# show statistics http requests Caching Statistics Cache Hits : 0 Cache Miss : 1 Range Requests : 0 Partial HIts - Live fill : 0 Partial HIt - Refill : 0 Partial Caching - Bypassed : 0 Prepositioned Content Statistics Preposition Hits : 0 Reply Meta : 0 Alternate Media : 0 Others Num Lookups : 2 Lookup Errors : 0 Streaming redirected requests : 0 WMT Liveness requests : 0 Hierarchical Cache Liveness requests : 4 Total % of requests Client Errors : Server Errors : Http/0.9 Requests : Http/1.0 Requests : Http/1.1 Requests : Http Invalid Requests : Blocked : Allowed :

See the Related Publications section on page 50 for links to the online documentation at Cisco.com. 8 Enabling and Testing the Flash Media Streaming Engine Note Flash Media Streaming is a CDS Release 2.1 to 2.3 feature. This section consists of the following procedures: Enabling Flash Media Streaming Testing Flash Media Streaming Preingested Content Testing Flash Media Streaming Dynamically Ingested Content Testing Flash Media Streaming Live Streaming Note Flash Media Streaming uses RTMP to stream live content by means of dynamic proxy. Configuration of live or rebroadcast programs is not required. When the first client requests live streaming content, the stream is created. All RTMP calls for live content in the SWF file must be in the following format: rtmp://rfqdn/live/path/foo.flv In this format, rfqdn is the routing domain name of the Service Router, live is the required directory, and path is the directory path to the content file that conforms to the standard URL specification. To monitor live streaming use the show statistics flash-media-streaming command and the show flash-media-streaming livestreams command. Enabling Flash Media Streaming Step 1 Step 2 Ensure Flash Media Streaming is enabled by using the show flash-media-streaming command. NE-DEMO-SE2# show flash-media-streaming Flash Media Streaming is enabled. Max. allowed concurrent sessions are Max. allowed bandwidth is Kbps. If Flash Media Streaming is enabled, go to the Testing Flash Media Streaming Preingested Content section on page 44. If Flash Media Streaming is not enabled, go to the next step. 43

44 Step 3 Launch a web browser, and log in to the CDSM. For more information on logging in to the CDSM, see the Activating the Devices in the Content Delivery System section on page 6. Step 4 Choose Devices > Devices. The Devices Table page is displayed (Figure 48). Figure 48 Devices Table Page Step 5 Click the Edit icon next to NE-DEMO-SE1. The Device home page is displayed. Step 6 Click Show All to expand the left-panel menu. Step 7 Choose Application Control > Flash Media Streaming. The Flash Media Streaming page is displayed. Step 8 Check the Enable check box and click Submit. Flash Media Streaming is now enabled on this device. Step 9 Repeat the above steps for all other SEs, and also for the SR if running CDS Release 2.1 to 2.3. Testing Flash Media Streaming Preingested Content Note Content must be preingested. This was accomplished in the Configuring Delivery Services section on page 11. Note All RTMP calls must be in the following format: rtmp://rfqdn/vod/path/foo.flv In this format, rfqdn is the routing domain name of the Service Router, vod is the required directory, and path is the directory path to the content file that conforms to the standard URL specification. Step 1 Step 2 On the client PC, start the Adobe Flash Player. Enter the URL of the flash file in the text box (Figure 49) and click Go. In the example, this is rtmp://rfqdn.cds.com/vod/test_prepos.flv. The RTMP call is routed to a Service Engine by the Service Router. The FLV file has been preingested on the SEs. The video begins to play. 44

45 Figure 49 Adobe Flash Player Step 3 To view the Flash Media Streaming statistics, enter the show statistics flash-media-streaming command on the SEs. There is one concurrent connection on NE-DEMO-SE2, which means there is an active connection to this SE. The statistics also shows a Preposition Hit of 1, which means there was preingested content being requested through this SE.
