Abstract
Techniques for handling sudden changes in available bandwidth in videoconferences implemented with media servers employing SFUs. The techniques involve detecting a sudden drop in available egress network bandwidth from a media server to a video receiver, sending a request to a video sender currently sending a video stream to the media server for forwarding to the video receiver to reduce its transmission bitrate, determining whether to reset the forwarding of the video stream to the video receiver, and, having determined to reset the forwarding of the video stream to the video receiver, stopping the forwarding of the video stream to the video receiver, sending a request for an I-frame to the video sender for use in restarting the forwarding of the video stream to the video receiver, and, having received the requested I-frame, restarting the forwarding of the video stream from the video sender to the video receiver.
