A system and method for managing video streaming on a computer network based at least in part on a state of a video streaming traffic flow. The method includes: reviewing a traffic flow to determine whether the traffic flow is a video streaming traffic flow; if the traffic flow is a video streaming traffic flow, determine at least one video characteristic associated with the video streaming traffic flow; determining a state of the video streaming traffic flow; determining a priority of the video streaming traffic flow based on the characteristics and the state of the video streaming traffic flow; and allocating bandwidth to the video streaming traffic flow based on the priority; otherwise, if the traffic flow is not a video streaming traffic flow, allowing the traffic flow to continue with the traffic flow's current priority.

A video processing engine may receive a request for a video communication session, via a network to produce a video file key that is routed to the video camera. If the video camera is communicatively connected to a Wi-Fi 6 compatible wireless access point, it routes a high-quality video file to the Network Operation Center (NOC). Alternatively, using the video key file, the video camera generates message digests and watermarks that are embedded in a video camera generated high-quality video file and a degraded quality video file. The video camera routes, via the network, the degraded quality video file to the NOC, while the high-quality video file is uploaded to the NOC later. Subsequently, a video processing engine extracts the watermarks from the message digests of the video files and compares them to ensure that the high-quality video file correlates to the degraded quality video file.

A system and method are provided for determining delay of a plurality of media streams. The system and method involve generating, at a source processor, a series of source time packets; transmitting, at the source processor, through a network, the series of source time packets as a source packet stream; generating, at a destination processor, a series of destination time packets; receiving, at the destination processor, through the network, the source packet stream; determining, at the destination processor, a transmission time for the source packet stream based on the source time data and the destination time data; and determining, at the destination processor, a relative synchronization error based on the source signature data and the destination signature data. Each source time packet includes source time data and source signature data. Each destination time packet includes destination time data and destination signature data.

At least three uses of the technology disclosed are immediately recognized. First, a video stream classifier can be trained that has multiple uses. Second, a trained video stream classifier can be applied to monitor a live network. It can be extended by the network provider to customer relations management or to controlling video bandwidth. Third, a trained video stream classifier can be used to infer bit rate switching of codecs used by video sources and content providers. Bit rate switching and resulting video quality scores can be used to balance network loads and to balance quality of experience for users, across video sources. Balancing based on bit rate switching and resulting video quality scores also can be used when resolving network contention.
