Adaptive live streaming represent a key advancement with respect to classic progressive download streaming such as the one employed by YouTube. With adaptive streaming the video source bit-rate is adapted on the fly so that the user can experience the maximum quality which is allowed by the time-varying available bandwidth.
The following videos are distributed by employing a prototype implementation of the Quality Adaptation Control algorithm which is described in the paper:
The video source is adapted by following the stream-switching (or multiple bit-rate) approach: the video source is available at different bit-rates and resolutions and a controller switches from one video version to match the available bandwidth while avoiding playback interruptions and re-buffering events.
Requirements:
