The second policy, in which buffer status is not considered, has a higher average video rate, and the video rate is smooth, but suffers from many freezes in video playback. The third policy is a good compromise, with reasonable video quality overall, subtle transitions in video rate, and few (if any) freezes in playback. '''[wiki:WiMAX/WiMAX-Tutorial/Dash/09 Next]''
