Quantitative Analysis of Strategies for Streaming Media Distribution

Category: Software and Web Development, Networking and Communications

Overview Distribution of streaming media content, including live news, music and videos, is becoming increasingly popular in today's Internet. Traditional client/server architectures are inefficient for distributing streaming media objects because of the high demands for system resources, especially server and network bandwidth, which severely limit the total number of simultaneous users the system can support. One proposal for improving the scalability of media distribution systems is the use of P2P overlay networks. Although a number of previous work has evaluated different aspects of P2P systems, mainly through simulation, there is a lack of a thorough quantitative analysis of the requirements for server and network resources (i.e., CPU, server and network bandwidth) in actual P2P systems, compared to traditional client/server systems.
