Abstract
Example implementations involve systems and methods for determining bandwidth savings from a rate-limiting process. A network optimization node can determine a first reference characteristic of a first portion of adaptive bit rate (ABR) media data transmitted from a first content provider to a first user equipment while rate-limiting is disabled and store in an estimation module database associated with the network optimization node, the first reference characteristic in association with the first content provider. The node can determine a first rate-limited characteristic of a second portion of the ABR media data transmitted from the first content provider to at least one of the first user equipment and a second user equipment while rate-limiting is enabled and calculate a first bandwidth savings for the first content provider associated with rate-limiting being enabled based on a difference between the first reference characteristic and the first rate-limited characteristic.
