TECHNIQUES TO DYNAMICALLY CONFIGURE TARGET BITRATE FOR STREAMING NETWORK CONNECTIONS

摘要

Techniques to dynamically configure target bitrate for streaming network connections are described. An apparatus may comprise a streaming component operative to establish a streaming network connection with a second client device at a first client device; and a stream configuration component operative to determine inter-arrival rate information for the streaming network connection; provide the inter-arrival rate information to an inter-arrival rate analysis component; receive a preliminary target bitrate from the inter-arrival rate analysis component in response to providing the inter-arrival rate information to the inter-arrival rate analysis component; determine round-trip time information for the streaming network connection; determine an assigned target bitrate and a packet size setting for the streaming network connection based on the preliminary target bitrate and the round-trip time information; and configure the streaming component to perform the streaming network connection with the assigned target bitrate and the packet size setting. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
establishing a streaming network connection with a second client device at a first client device; determining inter-arrival rate information for the streaming network connection; providing the inter-arrival rate information to an inter-arrival rate analysis component; receiving a preliminary target bitrate from the inter-arrival rate analysis component in response to providing the inter-arrival rate information to the inter-arrival rate analysis component; determining round-trip time information for the streaming network connection; determining an assigned target bitrate and a packet size setting for the streaming network connection based on the preliminary target bitrate and the round-trip time information; and configuring the streaming network connection with the assigned target bitrate and the packet size setting.
