The invention provides an improved adaptive streaming solution wherein an optimal receiver strategy is created and stored in a client device for controlling the adaptive streaming of digital content. In various embodiments, the optimal receiver strategy data is a result of solving a stochastic decision problem using a mathematical model based on a Markov Decision Process and using as an input to the mathematical model one or more properties of an encoder and an beforehand estimation of an available bandwidth of a packet switched network and/or variation characteristics of the available bandwidth over time of the packet switched network, wherein the properties comprise at least one of an encoder type identification and a mathematical model of a decoder input buffer used by the encoder.
