Hi,  
I’m new to mediasoup but very curious about how to use it for our needs.  
The question is how to limit the bitrate to a consumer of a SVC/Simulcast stream in the server?  
I see the transport.setMaxIncomingBitrate(bitrate) method but no nothing for limiting the outgoing bitrate.

Ultimately, I want to limit the resolution receivable by a consumer.

Sincerely,  
Ben

Have you taken a look to the Consumer API? There is something which is supposed to be clear for that purpose on it.
