Claim Text:
1. A method comprising: transmitting a video communication through a network; detecting, via a processor, a video quality degradation of the video communication based on network packet-level measurements and baseline degradation values; prioritizing a plurality of categories of quality degradations to yield a prioritization, wherein each category in the plurality of categories of quality degradation comprises one of jitter, duplication, block artifacts, snow, static, delay, or loss of audio; identifying, from the plurality of categories of quality degradation, a category of video quality degradation that corresponds to the video quality degradation; based on the prioritization, prioritizing a plurality of countermeasures corresponding to the plurality of video quality degradations to yield a table that matches the plurality of countermeasures specifying respective corrective video parameters with the plurality of categories of quality degradations; selecting, from the table, a countermeasure to correct quality degradations of the category of video quality degradation; and in response to the video quality degradation, implementing the countermeasure in real time.
