1. A method, comprising:
- receiving a request for video content from a client device;
accessing a common format representation for a requested chunk within the video content, wherein the common format representation is provided in one or more files that include metadata indicative of one or more counters;
using the common format representation in conjunction with a deterministic equation to identify a predicted size of an output to be sent to the client device; and
using the predicted size of the output to initiate transmitting at least a portion of a response to the client.

Abstract
A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes receiving a request for video content from a client device and accessing a common format representation for a requested chunk within the video content. The common format representation is provided in one or more files that include metadata indicative of one or more counters. The method can also include using the common format representation in conjunction with a deterministic equation to identify a predicted size of an output to be sent to the client device; and using the predicted size of the output to initiate transmitting at least a portion of a response to the client.

17. A network element, comprising:
-
a processor; a memory; and a size prediction module, wherein the network element is configured to; receive a request for video content from a client device; access a common format representation for a requested chunk within the video content, wherein the common format representation is provided in one or more files that include metadata indicative of one or more counters; use the common format representation in conjunction with a deterministic equation to identify a predicted size of an output to be sent to the client device; and use the predicted size of the output to initiate transmitting at least a portion of a response to the client. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
