Any idea how that "thinning" is done? This would mean that there is at least some kind of congestion detection and rate control implemented in DSS/QSS. I always thought that QT Player simply buffers a couple of seconds to reduce dropouts due to bandwidth fluctuation. I also don't understand how B-Frame dropping with Sorenson Video 3 is implemented.

Search on the Streaming Server and/or Streaming Server Developer list. I remember reading about the process and the setup variables on one of those lists.

Indeed, the client communicates bank and forward with the server to determine how the stream is going. I don't remember exactly how the server determines how to take action. Reading through the setup file for the QTSS/DSS you'd be able to figure out a number of those processes. I think it's mostly based on latency and percentage of packets lost in conjunction with the packetizer settings used when the media was hinted.
