Abstract
In a communication system and method using staggercasting, the bitrates of both staggercast and base streams may be highly variable to fulfill, for example, some quality demands. In some circumstances such as transport or bandwidth managements, variable bitrates may have some drawbacks or may not be cost effective. Accordingly, the present principles aim to level the sum of the two bitrates and/or to avoid exceedingly high or low bitrate intervals by reordering the packets of the staggercast stream.
