Hi hdrules1976,

Do you see the same issue in other DASH players, such as bitdash or dashif? Some dash players, such as Google’s Shaka player, for example, does not appear to correctly support the MPD.Location element in the MPEG DASH MPD. As a result, the player triggers creation of a new MPEG-DASH HTTP playback session (connection) with each MPD request. Old/unused requests do expire over time, but the total number of requests at any given time is totally dependent on the frequency at which the player requests a refresh of the MPD. This element is described in our [MPEG-DASH article](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-do-mpeg-dash-streaming#mpd_location).
