My point was that for large fast changes in available bandwidth (due to either link changes as we're talking about here, new non-adaptive VoIP flows, or brand-new hungry TCP flows (which due to RTT or the other limitations elsewhere don't eat the entire connection), it's good to estimate how far behind you've fallen while waiting to respond. The other solution is purposely always overreact downwards (though this requires having an idea how much over we may be, which Google's algorithm doesn't use, but can be estimated by the slope of the delay increase and then confirmed by the slope of the delay decrease after lowering send bandwidth). And per my previous comments, judicious frame drops at the sender can drain a queue very fast, though that has to be balanced against maintaining framerate for quality. That's partially out-of-scope for RMCAT, but not entirely if it can feed the source not only an "available bandwidth" value, but also an "estimated overhang" value (delay in time and bits). The control output of RMCAT to the source does *not* have to be a single integer. Some sources (audio) may not be able to make (much) use of it. Others might - video by dropping frames, audio by using comfort noise, both by changing/dropping FEC temporarily, etc. -- Randell Jesup -- rjesup a t mozilla d o t com
