19 Conclusion The b dynamic rate shifting mechanism is proposed to be disabled and replaced by a Performance Enhancing Proxy at the wireless network edge. The b dynamic rate shifting mechanism is proposed to be disabled and replaced by a Performance Enhancing Proxy at the wireless network edge. This multimedia architecture could be a cheap solution for the already deployed b networks.
