1. Consider the following in the context of prefetching. Suppose the video consumption rate is 2 Mbps but the network is capable of delivering the video from server to client at a constant rate of 2.5 Mbps. Then the client will not only be able to play out the video with a very small playout delay, but will also be able to increase the amount of buffered video data by 500 Kbits every second. In this manner, if in the future, the client receives data at a rate of less than 2 Mbps for a brief period of time, the client will be able to continue to provide continuous playback due to the reserve in its buffer. At what throughput does streaming over TCP result in minimal starvation and low buffering delays?
