B and C are not sending any data. The connection between A and B is rather good and the peer B can enjoy the video at full HD. While the connection between A and C is not as good as that between  A and B and it does not support an HD stream, thus B is not having a smooth video stream. Nevertheless, the connection between  C and A  would smoothly support a lower quality video, for instance 640x480.
