Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes (a) discerning whether an average packet delay in a media streaming session is increasing or decreasing over a first defined time window, (b) discerning whether an average jitter in the media streaming session is increasing or decreasing over a second defined time window, (c) in response to (a) and (b), calculating a specific bit-rate quantity corresponding to a change in bit-rate, and (d) controlling a bit-rate of the media streaming session in accordance with the specific bit-rate quantity.
