In adaptive HTTP streaming model, the HTTP server stores multiple representations of media content, encoded
at different rates. It is the function of a streaming client to select and retrieve segments of appropriate representations
to enable continuous media playback under varying network conditions. In this paper we describe
design of a control mechanism enabling such a selection and retrieval of media data during streaming session.
We also describe the architecture of a streaming client for adaptive HTTP streaming and provide simulation
data illustrating the effectiveness of the proposed control mechanism for handling bandwidth fluctuations typical
for TCP traffic.
