Congestion control? With something like fairness queueing that keeps bandwidth very stable at the fair share, you could conceivably get away with a much shallower playback buffer in the application and stream at something very close to real time, rather than using the chunk-based retrieval of HAS. However, that remark was mostly meant to be tongue-in-cheek... not sure if there exists any really good congestion control algorithms for real-time video. -Toke _______________________________________________ Bloat mailing list [email protected] https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/bloat
