Hello,

I’m streaming live video from an IP camera.

Approaching the stream using VLC player (RTSP), My Fortigate reports bandwidth usage of ~700 kb/sec. Re streaming the video through Wowza and displaying it using Flash player (RTMP), the reported bandwidth is ~1.5 Mb/sec.

I’m using latest Wowza release 4.0.3

Am I missing extra Wowza configurations here? How come the bandwidth is higher?

Thanks
