# BolaRule | ||
|
||
## Description | ||
|
||
The `BolaRule` is a buffer based ABR rule. BOLA uses a bitrate selection function that maps the current buffer level to | ||
the bitrate of the next segment to be downloaded. The illustration below shows an example of a bitrate selection | ||
function for a video that is encoded in three bitrates (1000, 2500 and 5000 kbps) and has a buffer capacity of 18 | ||
seconds. The thresholds for switching to a different quality are at 5 and 10 seconds of buffer. | ||
