Yes, dynamically changing the bandwidth through SNMP messages is what I need. I can send you the info on how LI (Logic Innovations) and other IPE manufactures talk to the datacasting computers. This will take me a couple of days as I'll need to contact Logic Innovations first. Thank you for your time and wonderful product and I look forward to sharing with the group the GUI front end and GUI user client that I am using for my applications as soon as its finished.

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?
