Hello group, This is my first post and wanted to thank
everyone and the
author(s) for their hard work.
I work in the broadcast industry and have been developing Datacast
solutions for KET. Well, after seeing this project I realized that this
could replace our propitiatory software. The only hurdle is to be able
to throttle the output on demand, as the one- way stream and forward
error correction system has been implemented. I will get details on the
throttling procedures for the group if anyone is interested. The
hardware that it needs to talk to is a Logic Innovations IPE (IP
Encapsulator) that embeds the IP traffic in the 19.39 Mbit data stream.
I can give more info on request.

Right now, you can already set the data transmit rate using the
--max-bitrate setting
But probably what you are looking for is a way to dynamically change it
during transmission? I'll think about a way to implement that. Maybe by
accepting control packets over a second UDP port which contain commands
to set bitrate to a new value?
