A method and system for determining a wait time (tw) to be used between successive transmissions of packets of a content to achieve a selected target bandwidth BT for the transmission. The wait time between successive packets of a content being transmitted is determined as a function of the selected target bandwidth (BT) to be achieved during the transmission and the size (P) of the packets based on the algorithm <maths id="MATH-US-00001" num="00001"> <math overflow="scroll"> <mrow> <msub> <mi>t</mi> <mi>w</mi> </msub> <mo>=</mo> <mfrac> <mi>P</mi> <msub> <mi>B</mi> <mi>T</mi> </msub> </mfrac> </mrow> </math> </maths> The invention provides bandwidth control at the source (the sending device) without relying on network Quality of Service (QoS) facilities. |
