This document describes Network Delivery Time Control (NDTC), a rate adaptation algorithm for real-time video streaming suited for interactive applications like cloud gaming. NDTC leverages the Frame Dithering Available Capacity Estimation (FDACE) heuristic, which estimates available path capacity without inducing congestion. The algorithm dynamically adjusts frame sizes and transmission times to ensure timely delivery, while also responding to conventional congestion signals.¶
