Abstract: In one example, the present disclosure describes a device, computer-readable medium, and method for estimating the streaming rate at which data is delivered over a network. For instance, in one example, a data packet is intercepted from a data streaming session conducted between a first device and a second device connected over a network. A size of a file segment contained in the data packet is calculated. The file segment corresponds to a portion of an item of multimedia content being delivered via the data streaming session. The encoding rate of the data streaming session is then calculated based at least in part on the size of the file segment.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a system that provides for obtaining, by a server comprising a processor, network parameter data from an eNodeB of a wireless network. The server can determine a predicted bandwidth for a group of end user devices in a coverage area of the eNodeB according to the network parameter data. The server can receive, from an end user device of the group of end user devices, a request for the predicted bandwidth. The server can provide the predicted bandwidth to the end user device. The providing of the predicted bandwidth enables the end user device to provide a video chunk request to a content server that is based on a selected chunk delivery schedule and facilitates streaming of video content to the end user device from the content server. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a device including a processing system including a processor and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, including monitoring network traffic to determine a transmission control protocol traffic pattern, determining a target video rate from the transmission control protocol traffic pattern, and modifying an over-the-top video delivery service network according to the target video rate. Other embodiments are disclosed.
