When current became unavailable, it was possible for
target to be set to opportunistic. Because of that,
the downgrade did not happen and PLI layer lock was
requested continuously.
* A coupke of stream allocator tweaks
- Do not overshoot on catch up. It so happens that during probe
the next higher layer is at some bit rate which is much lower
than normal bit rate for that layer. But, by the time the probe
ends, publisher has climbed up to normal bit rate.
So, the probe goal although achieved is not enough.
Allowing overshoot latches on the next layer which might be more
than the channel capacity.
- Use a collapse window to record values in case of a only one
or two changes in an evaluation window. Some times it happens
that the estimate falls once or twice and stays there. By collapsing
repeated values, it could be a long time before that fall in estimate
is processed. Introduce a collapse window and record duplicate value
if a value was not recorded for collapse window duration. This allows
delayed processing of those isolated falls in estimate.
* minor clean up
* add a probe max rate
* fix max
* use max of committed, expected for max limiting
* have to probe at goal
When detecting congestion based on loss, it is possible that
the loss based signal triggers earlier and the estimate based
signal is lagging. In those cases, check against last received
estimate and if that is lower than loss based throttling, use that.
Without this, it was possible that the current usage high.
Loss based throttling may not dial things back far enough to pause
the stream. Ideally, congestion should hit again and it should be dialled
down further and eventually pause, but there are situations it never
dials back far enough to pause.
* Do not let request layer overshoot available.
After a layer stopped on publisher side, an optimal allocation side
while initially adjusted to not request the stopped layer, a subsequent
allocation went back to the higher layer although it was stopped.
Prevent that.
* simplify
* Support simualting subscriber bandwidth.
When non-zero, a full allocation is triggered.
Also, probes are stopped.
When set to zero, normal probing mechanism should catch up.
Adding `allowPause` override which can be a connection option.
* fix log
* allowPause in participant params
* Decode chains
* clean up
* clean up
* decode targets only on publisher side
* comment out supported codecs
* fix test compile
* fix another test compile
* Adding TODO notes
* chainID -> chainIdx
* do not need to check for switch up point when using chains, as long as chain integrity is good, can switch
* more comments
* address comments
* Use bandwidth requested from last allocation.
With overshoot/opportunistic forwarding, It is possible that
bitrate at target layers is 0. So, use bandwidth requested
from last allocation which shouold have a correct value.
Still need to think about using the latest bit rates to get
the requested bandwidth. It is possible that bitrates have
changed since last allocation. That was the idea behind using
the latest bitrates, but it could return 0. Accounting for it
runs into a few scenarios. Last allocation has number from
last allocation and is a good indicator of the need.
* race
Hopefully temporary while we can find a better solution.
Adds 36 KB per SSRC. So, if a node can handle 10K SSRCs (roughly 10K
tracks), that will be 360 MB of extra memory.
