RTMP redirection

To add RTMP redirection functionality to the Load Balancer, configure the load-balancing system, and then add the following module to the Application.xml file for any live or VOD application on the Load Balancer. Be sure to add it "after" the last <Module> that's included in the <Modules> section in Application.xml. The following example shows an RTMP redirection module named redirect:

<Module>
	<Name>Redirect</Name>
	<Description>Redirect</Description>
	<Class>com.wowza.wms.plugin.loadbalancer.redirect.ClientConnections</Class>
</Module>
This module returns an RTMP redirect to clients that connect to the Load Balancer, except for those that are configured to be ignored in the loadbalanceIgnoreClients property in the Server.xml file. Wowza edge servers that connect to a Load Balancer that's also an origin server in a live stream repeater (origin/edge) configuration are also ignored.

An example URL used to redirect RTMP clients is:

rtmp://[load-balancer-ip-address]:1935/redirect/[application-name]/[stream-name]
In this example, RTMP clients are redirected to:

rtmp://[load-balanced-server-ip-address]:1935/[application-name]/[stream-name]
Notes:
You don't need to add this module if you've already configured RTSP redirection.
Not all RTMP clients support redirection via the RTMP protocol.
