1. A method for accommodation of latency variation in a communication network, the method comprising:
identifying that a service is currently associated with a user device associated with the communication network, wherein a deviation between a latency requirement of the service and an internal latency performance of the communication network is bounded;
predicting an upcoming reduction of communication network throughput for the user device, wherein predicting the upcoming reduction of the communication network throughput includes determining that a probability for upcoming communication network throughput reduction for the user device is larger than a reduction probability threshold value; and
providing a rate adaptor associated with the service with a feedback indication in response to predicting the reduction of communication network throughput, wherein the feedback indication is for rate reduction of the service.
