Infrastructure of the Internet exhibits variable bandwidths delays congestions and time-varying packet losses. Because of variable attributes of the Internet video streaming applications should not only have a good end-to-end transport performance but also have a robust rate control furthermore multipath rate allocation mechanism. So for providing the video streaming service quality some other components such as Bandwidth Estimation and Adaptive Rate Controller should be taken into consideration. This paper gives an overview of video streaming concept and bandwidth estimation tools and then introduces special architectures for bandwidth adaptive video streaming. A bandwidth estimation algorithm - pathChirp Optimized Rate Controllers and Multipath Rate Allocation Algorithm are considered as all-in-one solution for video streaming problem. This solution is directed and optimized by a decision center which is designed for obtaining the maximum quality at the receiving side.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAdaptive Video StreamingBandwidth EstimationQoSSoftware ArchitectureConference Object798827WOS:000261165400013N/AN/A
