A push source RealServer makes its original live streams available to other RealServers, called splitters. Push splitting distributes the streams among these splitters, thus solving the problem of the source RealServer becoming overloaded by requests. This type of splitting maintains a constant connection among the push source and the splitters, which leads to faster connections for the first client requesting a split stream.

Before creating the push source settings below, you will need to discuss settings with the administrator managing the settings for the push splitting Server, as the Servers will share selected values. Refer to Chapter 8, Splitting, in the online manual, for detailed instructions.
