bufferingkyky
Bufferingkyky is a conceptual measure of a digital system’s ability to maintain smooth content delivery by managing buffers in the presence of jitter, packet loss, and variable throughput. It describes how well a system can prefetch, sustain, and recover data during fluctuating network conditions without causing playback interruptions.
Etymology and scope: the term blends buffering, a common term in media streaming, with kyky, a word
Definition and components: bufferingkyky encompasses (1) the depth of the preloaded buffer, (2) the rate at which
Measurement and metrics: common indicators include buffer depth in seconds of media, refill rate (data per unit
Applications and design considerations: bufferingkyky is relevant to streaming services, online gaming, and real-time communication. Designers
Limitations and relationships: higher bufferingkyky often requires larger buffers and can introduce latency, potentially impacting interactivity.
