Local Port

Local Server port for WebDAV Client.

Range 0 to 65535

Default = 4000

Tcl Parameter: WebDavLocalPort

Remote Port

Server port of the WebDAV Server.

Range 0 to 65535

Default = 80

Tcl Parameter: WebDavRemotePort

Remote Directory

Local Virtual directory in WebDav Client. This should be the same directory at the Local Directory in WebDAV server tab.  It is not a real directory on the TS, it's used to distinguish different events and services. Each event and service bearer should have a unique local directory.

Click to use the Auto-Increment Format Wizard.

Default = /program#(N0)

Tcl Parameter: WebDavRemoteDir

Authentication Method

Two types of Authentication methods are supported (Basic and Digest).

Two Options: Basic and Digest

Default = Basic

Tcl Parameter: WebDavAuthMethod

User Name

User Name for WebDAV server. Only one User Name is required and it is not configured to any service bearers.

Range : Up to 64 Bytes.

Tcl Parameter: WebDavUserName

Password

Password for WebDAV server. Only one Password is required and it is not configured to any service bearers.

Range : Up to 16 Bytes.

Tcl Parameter: WebDavPassword

CNonce

Used when Authentication Method = Digest. Client Nonce used in Digest Authentication..

Range up to 64 bytes

Tcl Parameter: WebDavCNonce

Nonce Count

Used when Authentication Method = Digest. Nonce Count used in Digest Authentication.

Range from 0 to 2147483647

Default = 0

Tcl Parameter: WebDavNonceCount

MPD Transfer Prior (ms)

MPD File will be transferred to WebDAV immediately after session is established. The Content server transfers the MPD at the start of the test to the BM-SC via WEB-DAV. This occurs prior to the event start time. Based upon the event start time, the content server will start transferring files to the BM-SC via WEB-DAV.  See Diagram below for additional details.

Range from 0 to 65535

Default = 0

Tcl Parameter: WebDavMpdPrior

Late Time (ms)

This represents the NO later than the time a segment can be sent to BM-SC. This may be configured to be equal or less than Offset Time. The content server will record each instance as an error when a segment file has not been successfully transferred to the BM-SC prior to the LateOffset Start Time associated with a segment.  See Diagram description of configurable Late Time.

We have following timings in Landslide emulated WebDav client:

1.   Event start time in MPD:

Ip App Node Est time + WebDavMpdPrior

2.   MPD files transfer time:

Ip App Node Est time

3.   First media files transfer time:

Ip App Node Est time +  WebDavMpdPrior + Segment Length

4.   After first media file, each subsequent media file will be transferred with interval of Media Segment Length.

Estimated Media File Transfer Time:

Ip App Node Est time + WebDavMpdPrior  + (Media Segment Length * File Index (start from 0))

5.   Media file delay calculation method:

Media File Transfer Finish Time - Estimated Media File Transfer Time compare with Late Time

If Media file transfer time larger than late time, it will be recorded as an error media transfer.

Range from 0 to 65535

Default = 0

Tcl Parameter: WebDavLateTime
