Abstract

A technique that leads a surfer-equipment (SE) to switch to a lower bitrate is disclosed. The technique is implemented at an intermediate node between the SE and a domain. Leading the SE to switch to a lower bitrate is implemented by throttling one or more protocols each carried by one or more connections that carry packets of a multi-level-adaptive-bitrate (MLABR) media.
