Abstract
A system for distributing audio or video data across a network, wherein an input data rate controller at a server controls the transmission rate to a client such that it matches the intended rendering rate of the data, and time stamps the data using a clock that is synchronized with the clock of the client. The client monitors the rate at which data is received, compares the rate against the rate at which the data is actually rendered, and adjusts the rate at which the data is actually rendered depending on the comparison.
