Abstract
Techniques are described for streaming (e.g., low-latency streaming) of media content by performing sender-based adaptive bit rate control operations. The operations can include streaming a media stream to a streaming client. While streaming the media stream, an outgoing queue of buffered streaming content to be sent to the streaming client can be monitored. When a step down condition is satisfied, based at least in part on the monitoring, a switch can be made to a lower bit rate media stream for streaming to the streaming client. When a step up condition is satisfied, based at least in part on the monitoring, a switch can be made to a higher bit rate media stream for streaming to the streaming client. The operations are performed without receiving any quality feedback from the streaming client and without measuring bandwidth of the network channel.
