An Analytical Study of Peer-to-Peer Media Streaming Systems

Category: Software and Web Development, Networking and Communications

Overview Recent research efforts have demonstrated the great potential of building cost-effective media streaming systems on top of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks. A P2P media streaming architecture can reach a large streaming capacity that is difficult to achieve in conventional server-based streaming services. Hybrid streaming systems that combine the use of dedicated streaming servers and P2P networks were proposed to build on the advantages of both paradigms. However, the dynamics of such systems and the impact of various factors on system behavior are not totally clear. This paper presents an analytical framework to quantitatively study the features of a hybrid media streaming model.
