Adaptive mechanism for virtual asset download

A computing device, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processor, with instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
• initiating a virtual-asset traffic flow associated with first virtual assets and a plurality of other traffic flows associated with the virtual experience in which an avatar associated with a client device participates;
• implementing a delay-based control mechanism for the virtual-asset traffic flow and a congestion-control mechanism for the plurality of other traffic flows;
• and
• causing a concurrent download to the client device of a subset of the first virtual assets based on the delay-based control mechanism and information associated with the plurality of other traffic flows based on the congestion-control mechanism.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium with instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• initiating a virtual-asset traffic flow associated with first virtual assets and a plurality of other traffic flows associated with the virtual experience in which an avatar associated with a client device participates;
• implementing a delay-based control mechanism for the virtual-asset traffic flow and a congestion-control mechanism for the plurality of other traffic flows;
• and
• causing a concurrent download to the client device of a subset of the first virtual assets based on the delay-based control mechanism and information associated with the plurality of other traffic flows based on the congestion-control mechanism.
