Abstract
In one example, the present disclosure describes a device, computer-readable medium, and method for estimating the streaming rate at which data is delivered over a network. For instance, in one example, a data packet is intercepted from a data streaming session conducted between a first device and a second device connected over a network. A size of a file segment contained in the data packet is calculated. The file segment corresponds to a portion of an item of multimedia content being delivered via the data streaming session. The encoding rate of the data streaming session is then calculated based at least in part on the size of the file segment.
