View Number of Unicast and Multicast Streams by Zone
The Real Time Web Analytics Dashboard allows you to view the number of unicast and multicast streams by zone during a Webcast in real-time.
Note: Real Time Webcast Event Analytics are a Rev Cloud only feature. |
To find the number of unicast and multicast streams by zone:1. Navigate to the Real Time Web Analytics Dashboard > System Status tab.
2. The Unicast and Multicast columns display the number of unicast and multicast streams in each zone during the Webcast.
Unicast
Displays the total count of Webcast viewers in the Zone leveraging a unicast stream to consume the Webcast.
What to expect?
Under normal circumstances if a Zone and its underlying network has been configured for Vbrick or flash multicast is enabled, then one should expect that a good proportion of the total attendees in the Zone would be consuming a multicast stream and a smaller number to be consuming a unicast stream would be consuming a multicast stream and a smaller number to be consuming a unicast stream.
How can this information be used?
An event administrator can gauge if the number of attendees in the Zone consuming a unicast stream matches the expectations they had for that Zone. A significantly larger number of unicast streams than expected (when expectations were for larger number of multicast streams) may be an indication of misconfigured Zone or network.
Multicast
Displays the total count of Webcast viewers leveraging a multicast stream to consume the Webcast.
What to expect?
Under normal circumstances if a Zone and its underlying network has been configured for Vbrick or flash multicast is enabled, then one should expect that a good proportion of the total attendees would be consuming a multicast stream and a smaller number to be consuming a unicast stream enabled, then one should expect that a good proportion of the total attendees would be consuming a multicast stream and a smaller number to be consuming a unicast stream.
How can this information be used?
An event administrator can gauge if the number of attendees in the Zone consuming a multicast stream matches the expectations they had for that Zone. A significantly larger number of unicast streams than expected (when expectations were for larger number of multicast streams) may be an indication of misconfigured Zone or network.
An event administrator may also look to the multicast failover statistic in conjunction with this metric.
