    modulating the metadata by disabling information on at least one of the representations of the content;

    modulating, if the amount of the traffic is greater than the threshold value, the representations based on the disabled information on the at least one of the representations;

    generating a modulated content comprising the modulated metadata and the modulated representations; and

    transmitting, to a client, the modulated content,wherein the information on the at least one of the representations is disabled based on a largest bandwidth size of the representations.
