What Does Measured throughput Tell You?
This value tells you the bandwidth available to the client as determined by the client. This can then be used to understand why a specific bitrate rendition was requested.
What To Keep In Mind About This Value
This value, however derived, SHOULD be the value that the client is using to make its next Adaptive Bitrate switching decision. If the client is connected to multiple servers concurrently, it must take care to report only the throughput measured against the receiving server. If the client has multiple concurrent connections to the server, then the intent is that this value communicates the aggregate throughput the client sees across all those connections.
Developer Notes
The throughput between client and server, as measured by the client and MUST be rounded to the nearest 100 kbps.
