Abstract
A computer-implemented method, computer program product, and computing system is provided for decoding media streams. In an implementation, a method may include selecting a time window for monitoring discontinuities in a plurality of packets in a media transmission stream having a first time and a second time. The first time may indicate a beginning of the time window and the second time may indicate an end of the time window. The method may also include determining the number of discontinuities in the plurality of packets at the first time at a network node. The method may also include determining the number of discontinuities in the plurality of packets at the second time at the network node. The method may also include determining the number of discontinuities in the plurality of packets within the time window. The method may also include comparing the number of discontinuities within the time widow to a plurality of predefined discontinuities threshold values. The method may also include decoding one or more of the plurality of packets in the media stream based upon, at least in part, the comparison of the number of discontinuities within the time widow to the plurality of predefined discontinuities threshold values.
