Effective Methods for Scalable and Continuous Media Streaming on Peer-to-Peer Networks

Overview With the growth of computing power and the proliferation of broadband access to the internet, the use of media streaming has become widely diffused. By using the Peer-to-Peer (P2P) communication architecture, media streaming can be expected to smoothly react to changes in network conditions and user demands for media streams. In this paper, to achieve continuous and scalable media streaming, the paper introduces the scalable media search and in-time retrieval methods. Through several simulation experiments, the paper shows that the methods can accomplish continuous media play-out for popular media streams without introducing extra load on the system. However, the paper also shows that an LRU cache replacement algorithm cannot provide users with continuous media play-out for unpopular media streams.
