Abstract

This paper presents a solution for video streaming in a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) fashion, which takes into account the users' context, including information related to the physical underlying networks (type of access network, topology, Internet Service Provider.), in order to optimize the content delivery. Coupled with this network-aware tree structure, the capability to dynamically adapt video data, by the peers themselves, enable to provide the video in the best possible quality according to the context of the users. Components, launched on the peers, analyse the quality perceived by the end user, namely the QoE (Quality of experience), in real-time in order to reorganize the P2P network in case of insufficient perceived quality. A demonstrator of the solution has been implemented and tests have been done on the PlanetLab network in order to validate the feasibility of such a solution.

Experimental comparison of a tree-based and a mesh-based peer-to-peer video streaming system
Grid and P2P Systems

We analyse two commercial peer-to-peer (P2P) video streaming systems via active measurements: a tree-based overlay multicast and a mesh-based overlay. Our controlled IP test bed allows us to reproduce near-identical network conditions for both systems ...
An experimental study of peer behavior in a pure P2P network

Abstract: Dynamic peer behavior in P2P networks has a large impact on the performance of the network because each peer acts simultaneously as a server and a client in an overlay network. However, peer behavior in pure P2P networks is not well known ...
Incentive Mechanisms in P2P Media Streaming Systems

Free riding, whereby a peer utilizes network resources but doesn't contribute services, could have a huge impact on the efficacy of streaming systems, leading to scalability issues and service degradation. BitTorrent-like tit-for-tat mechanisms can't ...
