I described what Adaptive Bit Rate Streaming (ABR) is in my prior article, if you need that background. Also there is an ABR Lab Exercise if you want some hands on learning with ABR that will show you visually some of the items discussed below. Here, I wanted to dive a little deeper into this […]

Adaptive Bitrate Streaming (ABR) is a video delivery method that dynamically adjusts the quality of a stream in real time based on three things: network conditions, device capability, and player performance. Instead of delivering a single fixed-quality, and therefore fixed transfer rate video, ABR continuously selects the most appropriate bitrate to maintain smooth playback while

The following is a step by step lab exercise to examine ABR – Adaptive Bit Rate used in modern video content delivery. I won’t explain ABR here – you can read about ABR and what it is, and how it works here in a recent post. We will analyze a synthetic but realistic packet capture
