ABR algorithms
ABR (Adaptive Bitrate) algorithms dynamically adjust the quality of streaming video based on your internet connection's current speed. When your connection is fast, the video plays in higher quality; if it slows down, the algorithm lowers the quality to prevent buffering or interruptions. This process involves monitoring network conditions in real-time and choosing the optimal video bitrate that balances quality and smooth playback. ABR algorithms ensure a seamless viewing experience by adapting to fluctuations in your internet performance without noticeable disruptions.
