[Red5] Simulating network conditions - Windows

[Ignacio Lopez]

Thanks very much...I'll give it a try!

I am interested in what you say about "you need to balance the bandwidth of
any livestream so even clients with low bandwidth-capacity can see your
stream without framedrops"

What exactly do you mean by "balance the bw of any livestream"? Is such
thing possible in red5?
