Abstract
Selecting an optimal bitrate range is disclosed. A request for content from a first client is received. An optimal subset of bitrates for the first client is determined. The optimal subset of bitrates for the first client is determined based at least in part on one or more real-time quality measures. A different optimal subset of bitrates is determined for a second client. An indication of the optimal subset of bitrates determined for the first client is provided to the first client. The first client is configured to obtain content according to the indication of the optimal subset of bitrates.
