See full text

A method, program and apparatus for estimating a bandwidth of a channel from a transmitter to a receiver. The method comprises: receiving a packet stream at the receiver from the transmitter; receiving from the transmitter an indication of data transmitted from the transmitter to one or more other recipients than said receiver between packets of said packet stream; and determining at the receiver, using said indication, an estimate of the bandwidth of said channel. The estimate may enable transmission of packets from the transmitter to be controlled.
