Traffic Policy

A dedicated advanced tool to flexibly control traffic.

By default a blank policy is given, with location multipliers set to 1.

Below is a table of variables that can be used in maintaining the policy.

Variable	Description	Example values
client_ip	Client IP	"1.2.3.4"
client_asn	Client IP AS (Autonomous System) Number which is derived from the client_ip above. It can be looked up via a WHOIS tool.	5312
client_country	Client country in 2-letter ISO 3166 notation derived from the client_ip.	"MY"
publisher_id	The publisher's ID derived from the site_id below.	7234213
site_id	Resource or CDN site's ID.	7234213
site_type	CDN site or resource type derived from site_id above	HTTP, RTMP_VOD
time	Current time in UTC format as HHMM integer.	423 as 4:23 AM 1847 for 6:47 PM
peered_for	None if it is direct traffic, or operator's ID of buyer if peered. It is derived from the site_id	None 5732 (operator id 5732)

List of keywords, functions and operators

Keyword / Function / Operator	Definition
update_location_weight(multiplier[, location=None[, country=None[, continent=None]]])	Updates the weight of a location. Do note that if you have set this number to zero, due to a dampening factor of 1 billion, there is still a remote probability that a request still goes to that location. So a zero setting is not entirely and truly zero. Accepts either “location” (id), “country”, or “continent” to select locations. The allowed continent codes are AS,AF,EU,NA,OC,SA for Asia, Africa, Europe, North America, Oceania, South America respectively.
Conditional if, elif, else	Works like a standard if else conditional statement in any programming language.
#	Comment any unnecessary item.
Comparison operator (==, >, <, not, in)	Works like a standard comparison operator in any third generation programming language.
List constructor []	Allows comparison with lists e.g. if client_asn in [ 1, 2, 3 ].
String constructor "" (double quotes) or '' (single quote)	Place any string inside.
Numeric constructor
Boolean operators (and, or, not)

if client_asn == 4788:
update_location_weight(infinity, location=432)

if client_country == “MY”:
update_location_weight(infinity, country=”MY”)

if client_country == “TH” or client_country == “VN”:
update_location_weight(0, country=”CN”)
update_location_weight(0, country=”JP”)

if peered_for is not None:
update_location_weight(0, location=5324)

if 300 < time < 900:
update_location_weight(0.5, location=483)

if publisher_id == 98743:
update_location_weight(0, continent=”NA”)

if client_country == "SG":
  update_location_weight(infinity, country="SG")
else:
  update_location_weight(0, country="SG")
