Low latency content delivery

The present disclosure provides a media content delivery method in which the time taken to deliver respective content chunks is measured, thereby calculating the stability or consistency of the delivery time. Then, taking into account the current network characteristics, the amount of data buffered at the user device to be decoded and played can be adjusted (e.g., by playing content slower or faster) to achieve a good compromise between continuous playing and low end-to-end latency. 本公开提供媒体内容传送方法，其中，测量传送各个内容块所花费的时间，由此计算传送时间的稳定性或一致性。然后，考虑当前网络特性，可以调整在用户装置处缓冲的等待解码和播放的数据的量(例如通过较慢或较快地播出内容)，以实现连续播出和低的端到端时延之间的良好折衷。
