Abstract: A method for dynamically adapting to increased system load at a selective forwarding unit (SFU) is disclosed. In an embodiment, an SFU sends a plurality of video streams to a plurality of participant computing devices. The SFU monitors a system load value on the SFU according to any of a plurality of metrics. When the SFU determines that the monitored system load value exceeds a stored load threshold value, the SFU selects one or more of the streams being sent to participant computing devices and disables them.

Abstract: An example data processing technique includes determining, by a first media server during a first media session between a client device and the first media server, a stable bitrate value based on a rate at which the first media server receives data from the client device in the first media session. Further, the example technique includes, based on determining the stable bitrate value, storing in a database the stable bitrate value for the client device, and receiving, from the client device, a request to establish a second media session. The example technique also includes, in response to receiving the request, searching the database for a particular stable bitrate value for the client device, and sending the particular stable bitrate value to the client device, wherein the client device is configured to estimate, based on the particular stable bitrate value, an initial bitrate value for transmitting data from the client device to a second media server in the second media session.
