are
fighting a battle that you are bound to lose.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%">Normally, to
determine the bandwidth (for downloads) the test is to see how
much
data you can receive from an 'inexhaustible source'. If you tried
to
do that while you were receiving video, either the video would
spoil
the results of the test or the test would spoil the video.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%">How frequently
would
you plan to do your investigation? If you went into an empty
Starbucks and used their free WiFi, the bandwidth might be quite
good. Having established your session, the place could fill up
with
everyone fighting for WiFi bandwidth – and what you see would be
much lower bandwidth than when you started. If you're not careful,
you will spend so much time checking on the bandwidth that you
won't
have any time to process video.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%">I would think that
your best hope is building/maintaining a modest buffer of
downloaded
frames and checking that the buffer does not empty. Perhaps with a
mechanism to tell the sending end to send at a lower framerate if
the
buffer keeps emptying.</p>

Is there anyway I can get the current bandwidth in gstreamer streaming
application ?
Thanks
