Configure Wowza with two network interface (multicast and internet)

Wowza Streaming Engine
1

Hi Guys,

Currently I have a CentOS 6.6 server with two network interfaces, configure CentOS to query the multicast right through the eth1 interface and eth0 is a public IP Internet.

Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface

189.211.x.x 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 1 0 0 eth0

10.163.128.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.128.0 U 1 0 0 eth1

224.0.0.0 10.163.128.1 240.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1

0.0.0.0 189.211.x.x 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0

The server with this configuration can access the multicast from the eth1 and play the video in VLC without any problem and from the eth0 interface can browse the Internet.

Wowza in force in the host file that is the ip eth0.

What I want to achieve with the Wowza is that the eth1 interface that is accessing the multicast may transmit it to the public IP.

Try setting my Wowza but does not play the video. if I make a request to link incoming RTP and revised the data streaming if reciviendo

join to udp://@239.232.x.x:5001

Network Throughput

In Bytes: 20291875128 @ 2.980 Mbits / s

Bytes Out: 0 @ 0,000 bits / s

But if I connect with the VLC makes the connection but no video or audio.

Any idea how to set my Wowza?

Hi,

In the [install-dir] /conf/VHost.xml can you try changing 189.211.X.X</ IpAddress> with *</ IpAddress>?

You will need to restart your Wowza Streaming Engine service so that the new modification can be applied.

I see you have multiple forum threads with the same unresolved issue. Perhaps it would be best to open a ticket at this point.

Please zip the following folders and send them to support@wowza.com to open a ticket:

[install-dir]/conf

[install-dir]/logs

[install-dir]/manager/logs

I have a server with Centos 6.7 in which I have 2 network interfaces are:

eth0: This interface is connected to the Internet is a public ip like:

189.211.X.X

eth1: This interface is connected to a private network, this network is configured a multicast network and have assigned the ip:

10.163.135.39

I want to achieve with the Wowza connect to multicast streaming in this case “udp: //@239.232.xx: 5001” that this network is only available for the private network “eth1” and want to generate a public network restreaming "eth0 “” rtmp: //189.211.XX: 1935 / axt / barker.stream "

What I’ve done:

I set centos to RECEIVE the multicast traffic only from the eth1 and all other IP traffic defined by the public as shown:

Kernel IP routing table

Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface

189.211.X.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 1 0 0 eth0

10.163.128.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.128.0 U 1 0 0 eth1

224.0.0.0 10.163.128.1 240.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1

0.0.0.0 189.211.X.X 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0

In the Wowza I created an application called “axt” and stream file “barker.stream” which links to the following ip “udp: //@239.232.199.14: 5001”.

In the [install-dir] /conf/VHost.xml the parameter was modified:

189.211.X.X </ IpAddress>

true </ MulticastBindToAddress>

10.163.135.39 </ MulticastInterfaceAddress>

agrege also file [install-dir] /conf/axt/Application.xml the following information:

multicastInterfaceAddress </ Name>

10.163.135.39 </ Value>

</ Property>

With all this configured consult the link service from the application VLC:

rtmp: //189.211.21.X: 1935 / axt / barker.stream

Starts loading and then time begins to advance Transmit however I have no picture or audio.

Any idea what’s wrong with my setup?

Note: If I check multicast directly from the VLC I can see the video without any problem:

udp: //@239.232.199.14: 5001

Hello,

There’s a common issue that CentOS version 6 and newer releases have shown with multicast and multiple routing paths. Please see the following forum information for details:
