FIELD: physics; computer engineering.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the method of communication and coordination between a client with limited resources and a server during transmission of a multimedia stream, associated with delivery of data packets. To prevent packet loss at the client side due to the maximum possible rate of transfer of packets, the client sends a signal to the server, notifying on the maximum possible rate of transfer of packets. This possibility can be sent to the client using a mechanism for exchanging possibilities or using a multimedia stream transmission protocol. The client inserts a parametre, which indicates the maximum possible rate of transfer of data packets, in to the query sent to the server so at to undertake necessary action and regulate delivery rate of packets.
EFFECT: coordination of rate of transfer of packets between a client and a server for a successful session for processing without packet loss.
