An apparatus comprising a first node configured to communicate with a
second node, wherein the first node is configured to receive a first
stream from the second node, receive a bridging stream from the second
node, and receive the second stream from the second node, and wherein the
bridging stream has a lower bit-rate than the second stream. Included is
an apparatus comprising at least one processor configured to implement a
method comprising transmitting a first stream at a first time,
transmitting a bridging stream that has a bit-rate greater than the first
stream and less than the second stream at a second time, and transmitting
the second stream at a third time.
