Activation Ratio

Introduction

Activation Ratio gives you full control over Mesh Delivery deployment. For those who prefer an incremental ramp-up while rolling out the technology, this feature enables you to allocate an exact percentage of your audience to benefit from peer-to-peer on a per-device basis. Best yet, your teams can do this directly from your dashboard in your account section. Get to cruising speed more quickly and hassle-free, while having full control of your audiences and testing environment.

 

By starting with a small activation ratio, you will be able to test how our technology works on a small percentage of end-users. Then, you can increase it with time after checking the results. When you are confident with the power of our technology you can activate it on 100% of your traffic.

How does it work?

  1. Whenever you change the activation ratio our servers need 5 mins to apply those settings.

  2. Disabled viewers still run our libraries but don't connect to our tracker. Peer connections for those viewers will not be initiated and their videos will be loaded from CDNs only.

  3. Disabled viewers do not send data to the dashboard.
