7. Traffic Type

Traffic Type defines the type of traffic served by the OriginID. The system uses the Traffic Type setting to apply a set of optimal defaults, tuned to the particular needs of the different defined Traffic Types. Setting an improper Traffic Type may result in sub-optimal performance. The currently defined Traffic Types are:

• Live - Used for Live/Linear HTTP Adaptive Streaming Services. 24x7 or Events
• VOD - Used for Video on Demand content served using HTTP Adaptive Streaming technologies
• Download - Used for Large objects such as Software updates, Games etc.
• Wholesite - used for enterprise website delivery

Traffic Type is set within within the special Match group ID:0, as shown in the example below:

"matchGroups": [
  {
    "id": 0,
    "matchRules": [
      {
        "expression": "$id.minor == 59468",
        "features": {
          "trafficType": {
            "value": "VOD"
          }
        },
        "id": 59468
      }
