Abstract
A computer-implemented method comprising: transmitting a test file to a client; timing the transmission of the test file with a timer; resetting the timer and reattempting the transmission of the test file if the timer reaches a first maximum threshold value; and calculating an effective bitrate for delivering data to the client based on transmission time of said test file.
Claims26
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- transmitting a test file to a client;
- timing said transmission of said test file with a timer;
- resetting said timer and reattempting said transmission of said test file if said timer reaches a first maximum threshold value;
- and
- calculating an effective bitrate for delivering data to said client based on transmission time of said test file.

An article of manufacture including a sequence of instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause said processor to:
- transmit a test file to a client;
- time said transmission of said test file with a timer;
- reset said timer and reattempt said transmission of said test file if said timer reaches a first maximum threshold value;
- and
- calculate an effective bitrate for delivering data to said client based on transmission time of said test file.
2 more elements
A method comprising:
- timing a first transmission of a test file to a client;
- timing a second transmission of said test file to said client if said test file is not fully received at said client within a first maximum threshold timing value;
- and
- calculating an effective bitrate for delivering data to said client based on transmission time of said test file in said first transmission if said test file is fully received at said client within said first maximum threshold timing value.
