Abstract

In one implementation, a stream client emulator includes a stream access module and a monitor module. The stream access module receives stream data from a streaming service and consumes the stream data according to an output rate of a stream without outputting the stream data. The monitor module determines that buffer events have occurred relative to the stream data and a buffer characteristic.
