First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- marking, by a processor, each of a plurality of first video packets from a communication session with a first identifier in the first video packets, wherein the first identifier designates that bandwidth is reserved on a network for the first video packets;
marking, by a processor, each of a plurality of second video packets from the communication session with a second identifier in the second video packets, wherein the second identifier designates that bandwidth is not reserved on the network for the second video packets; and
initiating transmission of the plurality of first video packets and the plurality of second video packets in the communication session;
monitoring an available bandwidth on the network; and
adjusting, during the communication session based on the monitored available bandwidth, the bandwidth of at least one from a set comprising;
the plurality of first video packets and the plurality of second video packets, wherein the bandwidth of the plurality of second video packets is adjusted by adjusting at least one from a set comprising;
video frame rate, quantization, and video resolution.

Abstract
A system includes a processor operable to identify each of a plurality of first video packets from a communication session with a first identifier designating that band width is reserved on the network for the packet, and identify each of a plurality of second video packets from the communication session with a second identifier designating that bandwidth is not reserved on the network for the packet. The system further includes an interface operable to initiate transmission of the plurality of first video packets and the plurality of second video packets in the communication session.

5. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising logic, the logic, when executed by a processor, operable to:
-
mark each of a plurality of first video packets from a communication session with a first identifier in the first video packets designating that bandwidth is reserved on a network for the first video packets; mark each of a plurality of second video packets from the communication session with a second identifier in the second video packets designating that bandwidth is not reserved on the network for the second video packets; and initiate transmission of the plurality of first video packets and the plurality of second video packets in the communication session; monitor an available bandwidth on the network; and adjust, during the communication session based on the monitored available bandwidth, the bandwidth of at least one from a set comprising;
the plurality of first video packets and the plurality of second video packets, wherein the bandwidth of the plurality of second video packets is adjusted by adjusting at least one from a set comprising;
video frame rate, quantization, and video resolution. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)
