example. Suppose one wants to stream a video to a small screen that
has a resolution of 352 by 240 pixels. If each pixel is represented by
24 bits of information, as would be the case for 24-bit color, then
the size of each frame would be (352 × 240 × 24) / 8 = 247.5 KB. If

the application needs to support a frame rate of 30 frames per second,

network to provide more bandwidth is of no interest to such an

how long it takes to download a large file. Still others care that
packet delivery is predictable, so that a video stream plays without
