Network supported multimedia applications involve many different transmission capabilities which are used to deliver content through streaming to a wide range of terminals and users are surrounded by different environments that are acting under totally different circumstances.

Various researches on Internet network protocols minimization are currently on-going to combine the transport of all types of network traffic across a single multi-service common core network. Hence, end-to-end bandwidth estimation is one of the criteria and plays an important role in providing quality of service (QoS) to users. The challenge is then to produce bandwidth management that are adaptable and efficient for varying traffic conditions. In this research, an improved probe-rate method to measure available bandwidth called Bandshaper was proposed to cater for the scalable multimedia streaming needs.
