Abstract
In some implementations, a network device may receive, from a server, video traffic associated with an application, wherein the application is associated with a video content provider. The network device may detect whether the application utilizes an adaptive bitrate to provide the video traffic, based on a bitrate associated with the video traffic in relation to a maximum bitrate. The network device may assist a remediation based on whether the application utilizes the adaptive bitrate.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a network device and from a server, video traffic associated with an application, wherein the application is associated with a video content provider;
- detecting, by the network device, whether the application utilizes an adaptive bitrate to provide the video traffic, based on a bitrate associated with the video traffic in relation to a maximum bitrate,
- wherein detecting whether the application utilizes the adaptive bitrate further comprises:
- generating a datapoint based on whether the bitrate associated with the video traffic exceeds the maximum bitrate,
- wherein the datapoint indicates whether traffic shaping is applied to the video traffic, and a plurality of datapoints, including the datapoint, are generated for the video traffic that is associated with traffic shaping, and
- calculating whether a percentage of the plurality of datapoints satisfies a threshold over a period of time to determine whether the application utilizes the adaptive bitrate;
- and
- assisting, by the network device, a remediation based on whether the application utilizes the adaptive bitrate.

A network device, comprising:
- one or more processors configured to:
- receive, from a server, video traffic associated with an application, wherein the application is associated with a video content provider;
- detect whether the application utilizes an adaptive bitrate to provide the video traffic, based on a bitrate associated with the video traffic in relation to a maximum bitrate,
- wherein the one or more processors, when detecting whether the application utilizes the adaptive bitrate, are to:
- generate a datapoint based on whether the bitrate associated with the video traffic exceeds the maximum bitrate,
- wherein the datapoint indicates whether traffic shaping is applied to the video traffic, and a plurality of datapoints, including the datapoint, are generated for the video traffic that is associated with traffic shaping, and
- calculate whether a percentage of the plurality of datapoints satisfies a threshold over a period of time to determine whether the application utilizes the adaptive bitrate;
- and
- assist a remediation based on whether the application utilizes the adaptive bitrate.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions, the set of instructions comprising:
- one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a network device, cause the network device to:
- receive, from a server, video traffic associated with an application, wherein the application is associated with a video content provider;
- detect whether the application utilizes an adaptive bitrate to provide the video traffic, based on a bitrate associated with the video traffic in relation to a maximum bitrate,
- wherein the one or more instructions, cause the network device to detect whether the application utilizes the adaptive bitrate, cause the network device to:
- generate a datapoint based on whether the bitrate associated with the video traffic exceeds the maximum bitrate,
- wherein the datapoint indicates whether traffic shaping is applied to the video traffic, and a plurality of datapoints, including the datapoint, are generated for the video traffic that is associated with traffic shaping, and
- calculate whether a percentage of the plurality of datapoints satisfies a threshold over a period of time to determine whether the application utilizes the adaptive bitrate;
- and
- assist a remediation based on whether the application utilizes the adaptive bitrate.
