ABSTRACT
Designing a robust bandwidth prediction algorithm for low-latency media transport that can quickly adapt to varying network conditions is challenging. In this paper, we present the working principles of a hybrid bandwidth predictor (termed BoB, Bang-on-Bandwidth) we developed recently for real-time communications and discuss its use with the new Media-over-QUIC (MOQ) protocol proposals.
