Abstract

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) streaming technology based on various service requirements often remains on the elusive benefits of user-friendly video streaming in cloud computing environments. Cloud-assisted P2P media streaming gives an opportunity to enhance on-demand, dynamic and easily accessible videos. This paper outlines the fundamental video block device (VBD) method for user-friendly viewing patterns that inherits from user access patterns and provides efficient delivery using an enhanced BitTorrent protocol.
