1. A method comprising:

  • monitoring a condition indicative of a bandwidth of a network path on which a multimedia stream is being sent from a source to a destination;

    determining if the bandwidth has changed by at least a predetermined amount for a predetermined amount of time; and

    responsive to determining that the bandwidth has changed by at least the predetermined amount for the predetermined amount of time, at an intermediate point between the source and the destination on the network path of the multimedia stream, adjusting a transmit bit-rate of the multimedia stream to adapt to the condition indicative of the bandwidth of the network path.
