Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, a device, and a system for self-adaptively adjusting a data transmission rate, which solve the problem of network buffer overflow. The method includes: receiving parameters sent by a client; calculating a predicted value of a data sending rate according to a maximum value of a network buffer and the received parameters; judging whether the predicted value of the data sending rate is less than an original service bit rate; and if the predicted value of the data sending rate is less than the original service bit rate, discarding data of at least one data unit in a send buffer. The method, the device, and the system are mainly applied to adjust the data transmission rate, and especially to adjust the data transmission rate in a time-varying network.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose a network packet loss processing method and apparatus. The method in the present invention includes: comparing a value of a current congestion window of a network with a buffer threshold when a packet loss event is detected, where the buffer threshold is used to indicate a data bearing capability of the entire network, where the data bearing capability is obtained by adding a data bearing capability of a link in the network and a data bearing capability of a buffer of a node in the network; if the value of the current congestion window is smaller than the buffer threshold, not performing backoff processing on the current congestion window; and if the value of the current congestion window is greater than or equal to the buffer threshold, performing backoff processing on the current congestion window.

Abstract: A method for processing a channel switching failure case is disclosed. The method for processing a channel switching failure case is used to provide media services for receiver in unicast and multicast modes and includes: detecting whether a data stream is of failure case after sending a channel switching request; and sending a failure case message and/or a failure case processing message to a channel switching server when a failure case occurs so that the channel switching server may process the failure case. A terminal device and channel switching server are provided so that the channel switching server may recover channel switching services provided for receiver and provide correct services for a user.

Abstract: A channel switching processing method includes receiving, by a switching server, a channel switching request from a receiving end. When the switching server determines that current switching resource information does not meet a switching condition according to the channel switching request, the switching server performs an exception handling procedure and sends channel switching instruction information to the receiving end. The channel switching instruction information is configured to instruct the receiving end to perform a channel switching operation corresponding to the channel switching instruction information.
