How does ADAPTIVE mechanism work on Ant Media Server ?

[Khan Honney]

There is Adaptive settings section on Ant Media Server's dashboard.

I'm curios about the mechanism works for the Adaptive settings.

Is the parameter determining bitrate or resolution?

And how does ADAPTIVE mechanism work ?

Hi,

Actually, the bottleneck is the network throughput.

So, Ant Media Server is always aware of the network speed, the end-user has on his side.

Regardless of the resolution in the Adaptive settings, a bitrate selection is made either upward or downward, depending on the bitrate information and the instantaneous network speed.
