Abstract
A method is provided in one embodiment and includes establishing a video session involving an endpoint and a server; evaluating network criteria associated with characteristics that can affect a bit rate for the video session; and communicating bit rate hint data, which is based on the network criteria, to the endpoint for consideration in a bit rate request. The bit rate request involves streaming data in the video session. The method also includes receiving the bit rate request from the endpoint.
