1. A system for data streaming, comprising:

  • at least one processor;

    a signal source;

    an adaptable encoder for encoding signals produced by said signal source;

    anda non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer readable instructions stored thereon for execution by said at least one processor forming;

    a source reporter for formulating downstream control packets directed to respective client devices of a plurality of client devices during successive time windows; and

    a flow controller for;

    receiving upstream control packets, corresponding to said downstream control packets, from said plurality of client devices, each upstream control packet indicating a state of a connection from said adaptable encoder to a respective client device;

    anddetermining preferred individual encoding rates for connections from said adaptable encoder to said plurality of client devices based on comparing states of at least one connection over successive time windows with a predefined range of acceptable connection states.
