Abstract
A system for providing downstream bandwidth aware adaptive bit rate selection is disclosed. The system may determine a fixed bandwidth available to transmit content to a client on a second network. The system may connect to a first network, which may be configured to have no specific bandwidth constraints, to obtain the content. Once the system is connected to the first network, the system may receive, from the first network, a content segment of the content that is encoded at a first bandwidth. The first bandwidth may be less than or equal to the lesser of the fixed bandwidth available to transmit the content to the client on the second network and a first adaptive bit rate that is selected based on a congestion condition experienced on the first network. The system may then transmit the content segment at the first bandwidth to the client on the second network.
