  • receiving a media stream;

    configuring one or more storage parameters of a jitter buffer, the one or more storage parameters including at least one of a preroll duration value and a starvation threshold, the preroll duration value representing a minimum amount of first data from the media stream that is stored in the jitter buffer in order to play the media stream, the starvation threshold representing a minimum amount of second data from the media stream stored in the jitter buffer in order to prevent play-out of the second data in the jitter buffer;

    playing the media stream;

    monitoring a data storage state of the jitter buffer; and

    adjusting the one or more storage parameters of the jitter buffer based upon the data storage state.
