Abstract
A system and method for management of bandwidth shared by a plurality of video content encoders is provided. A management service coordinates an unequal allocation of available bandwidth among a set of encoding nodes. The management service can receive measured bandwidth attributes from a plurality of encoding nodes to determine a total available bandwidth. The management service can then allocate the available bandwidth in an unequal distribution based on a designated role of the encoders. The management service can then transmit the allocated bandwidth to the encoding nodes.
