Congestion-controlled peer-to-peer rtp streaming with worst-case client scheduling for game console remote play

A system for local and/or remote play via a game console with local and/or remote participants, wherein the game console acts as a server, and wherein the game console is configured to form a peer-to-peer connection with one or more remote client devices, the system comprising:

• a memory and a communication port;
• and
• control circuitry communicably coupled to the memory and the communication port and configured to execute the instructions to:
• receive, at a network congestion control of the game console, real time control protocol (RTCP) packets with a source internet protocol (SRC IP) address, and existing, new or removed SRC IP connections from a user datagram protocol (UDP) socket connected to the one or more remote client devices;
• determine, at a transmission scheduler of the game console, a synchronization source (SSRC) identifier, a timestamp of transmission (TS (TX)), a sequence number of a real time transport protocol (RTP (SN)), and a size of an RTP packet (RTP (size));
• access, at the network congestion control, the SSRC, the TS (TX), the RTP (SN), and the RTP (size);
• process an RTCP response from an RTP receiver on one of the remote client devices at the network congestion control;
• store, at a packet response datastore for each SRC, the RTCP packets;
• determine, at the network congestion control, a congestion window (CWND) and a round trip time (RTT) for each SRC based on the received RTCP packets;
• and
• in response to determining that the packet response datastore is waiting on an RTCP response, save, at the network congestion control, the SRC IP address as a worst-case client device;
• and
• for the worst-case client device or a last client device to respond with an RTCP packet, send, from an RTCP reporting system of the network congestion control, the CWND and the RTT to the transmission scheduler of the game console.
