Problems solved by technology

However, it is known that ABR based on orders from multiple clients to start using network resources can lead to an unfair and sometimes inappropriate allocation of bandwidth on the network
Since bandwidth usage is usually determined by clients requesting content, and because ABR clients can be opportunistic, they can become greedy, thereby affecting the overall bandwidth quality of the bandwidth pipe
Although current ABR systems allow bandwidth to "adapt" to existing network conditions, such solutions continue to be flawed relative to more realistic content consumption environments

Abstract

A scheme for managing conflict resolution in an ABR streaming environment with respect to a bandwidth pipe serving a customer premises, in one aspect when a session request is received from a new ABR client launched in the customer premises that includes one or more existing ABR clients having corresponding streaming sessions, a bandwidth forecasting module is configured to forecast bandwidth, requirements with respect to the corresponding ABR streaming sessions after accounting for a bandwidth requirement for the new ABR client's session request, A conflict condition may be detected if any of forecasted band width requirements violates a bitrate threshold policy relative to the corresponding ABR streaming sessions and/or the new session being requested, if there is a conflict, an interactive session may be launched with one or more clients for facilitating user selection of one or more options relative to the impending conflict condition.
