SUMMARYThis hotfix addresses the following two issues in the Microsoft Windows Media Services 9 Series: - A bug where the Windows Media Services Admin Microsoft Management Console Snap-in sometimes displays a negative value for the current bandwidth.
- A new context value is required to obtain more information about the bandwidth of a connected client.
CAUSEThese issues occur because the server incorrectly calculates the accelerated streaming rate for certain pieces of content. This behavior causes the server to incorrectly allocate bandwidth. In certain cases, the server would allocate bandwidth to a negative value.
