Bit Rate Throttling

Right now I have Bit Rate Throttling setup on each of my web servers for delivery of videos. I would prefer to do this on the LTM instead.

 

 

What bit rate throttling in IIS 7 does is base the delivery speed on the bit rate of the video so that we are not delivering the data faster than the client can play it.

 

 

 

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
