Bit Rate Throttling and Smooth Streaming - Part 1
As more and more people evaluate the features in IIS Media Services, I occasionally get questions about how to use IIS Bit Rate Throttling with IIS Smooth Streaming. In reality, these features work on separate types of content. While they can run at the same time on a server, you would never typically use them on the same files. Both features achieve a metered flow of content, but one regulates the flow using delivery logic on the server, while the other regulates the flow using request logic on the client.
