Http Redirects
In order to reduce streaming media traffic, the CSS media server services are configured as http redirect
services (also referred to as ‘remote’ services) within the CSS. With the absence of a ‘local’ service, this
configuration will choose an available service based on the content rule, and present the requesting
gateway with an http 302 redirect message. Media streaming will occur directly from the GW to the
individual Media Server. For specific information on http redirection services, please see “Specifying a
Service Type” in Chapter 1 of the CSS Basic Configuration Guide.
