These systems reduce the load on the server and provide a scalable content distribution. A new paradigm of P2P network collaborates to build large distributed video applications on existing networks .But, the problem of designing the system are at par with the P2P media stre...

Playback Policies for Live and On-Demand P2P Video Streaming

Peer-to-peer (P2P) has become a popular mechanism for video distribution over the Internet, by allowing users to collaborate on locating and exchanging video blocks. The approach LiveShift supports further collaboration by enabling storage and a later redistribution of received blocks, thus, enabling time shifting and video-on-demand in anintegrated manner. Video blocks, however, are not always...

Report- and Reciprocity-Based Incentive Mechanisms for Live and On-Demand P2P Video Streaming

The popularity of video streaming in the Internet has continuously increased and traffic generated by such applications has become a large portion of the Internet traffic. The Peer-to-Peer (P2P) approach is becoming popular due to better scalability and reduced distribution cost. Live streaming and Video-on-Demand (VoD) are two fields of video streaming which have been treated as completely dif...

Adaptive Content Distribution Network for Live and On-Demand Streaming

Abstract: We have proposed an adaptive content distribution network (CDN), FCAN (Flash Crowds Alleviation Network), which changes its structure dynamically against a flash crowd, that is a rapid increase in server load caused by a sudden access concentration. FCAN in our preceding studies responds only to static content delivery. In this paper, we extend FCAN to alleviate flash crowds in video ...
