ABSTRACT:
A data communication system dynamically selects timer durations to ensure delivery of data at a desired bit rate. A source or proxy source transmits data, such as streaming media, to a destination according to a dynamic bit rate timer, where the timer regulates the transmission frequency and/or the packet size of the data being transmitted. The timer dynamically adapts the transmission frequency or packet size according to the relative positioning of data pointers in a buffer and effectively changes the rate of data delivery. In this way, data may be delivered at the desired average bit rate to the destination despite network capacity fluctuations.
