...rough producer-bus-consumer (within my control) 2) The way through the network to the client (out of my control) I thought that it would be possible to transport more than needed per second byte[]'s through the p-b-c pattern but still maintain the needed bitrate (lower speed). I introduced a load_factor that multiplies the buffersize and the sleep-time of the producer. Resulting in the producer thread to read the KBytes he needs for the (bitrate * load_factor) and then wait the difference in time until (1 sec * load_factor) is full. This now creates Idle times for my producers of ~975ms*load_f...
