Using Machine Learning to Improve Streaming Quality at Netflix
Table of Contents
Network quality is difficult to characterize and predict. While the average bandwidth and round trip time supported by a network are well-known indicators of network quality, other characteristics such as stability and predictability make a big difference when it comes to video streaming. A richer characterization of network quality would prove useful for analyzing networks (for targeting/analyzing product improvements), determining initial video quality and/or adapting video quality throughout playback (more on that below).
