Despite the internet being an intricate, ever-evolving network with billions of nodes, content delivery is often limited by the Border Gateway Protocol, which sends data over pathways and routers with the fewest hops.
But the BGP fails to monitor the available capacity of nodes and links along that pathway. This "spray and pray" method uses multiple bitrates to handle congestion and maximize data throughput, despite the lack of precision.
