P2P based live streaming has been gaining popularity. The new generation P2P live streaming systems not only attract a large number of viewers, but also support better video quality by streaming the content at higher bit-rate. In this paper, we propose a novel P2P streaming framework, called Hierarchically Clustered P2P Video Streaming, or HCPS, that can support the streaming rate approaching t...

Peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing has become increasingly popular, accounting for as much as 70% of Internet traffic by some estimates. Recently, we have been witnessing the emergence of a new class of popular P2P applications, namely, P2P audio and video streaming. While traditional P2P file distribution applications target elastic data transfers, P2P streaming focuses on the efficient delivery ...

Induction and cessation of the rotational cytoplasmic streaming in Vallisneria mesophyll cells could be controlled by external stimuli. In cells that had been kept in darkness the cytoplasm remained quiescent. However, when the cells were treated in the dark with EGTA solution (10 mM or 20 mM buffered with 10 mM-Tris-maleate at pH 7.0), rotational cytoplasmic streaming was induced. When the cel...

1. INTRODUCTION: ISSUES IN ENTERPRISE MULTIMEDIA STREAMING An enterprise network is a private network linking sites within an organization (typically a company). It may be widely dispersed, multifaceted, and includes all the networking services and equipment of the organization. While the streaming of multimedia over enterprise networks is gaining momentum, there is a disconnect between the nee...

Distributed multimedia streaming systems are increasingly popular due to technological advances, and numerous streaming services are available today. On servers or proxy caches, there is a huge scaling challenge in supporting thousands of concurrent users that request delivery of high-rate, time-dependent data like audio and video, because this requires transfers of large amounts of data throug...

In recent years, themultimedia streaming technology becomes increasingly mature, and as network bandwidth and computing power of personal hand-held devices are developed; therefore, it leads the requirements for multimedia quality increased. In order to provide the quality multimedia content to numerous users, how to divide the loading of content servers to improve the streaming quality is an i...

In information theory, it has been shown that network coding can effectively improve the throughput of multicast communication sessions in directed acyclic graphs. More practically, random network coding is also instrumental towards improving the downloading performance in BitTorrent-like peerto-peer content distribution sessions. Live peer-to-peer streaming, however, poses unique challenges to...

Popularity of the Internet and the availability of broadband links to residential consumers have initiated a demand for high quality video streaming. Efficient Quality of Service of video streaming depends on bandwidth, delay, and loss requirements due to its real-time nature. However, the current best-effort Internet does not offer any quality of service (QoS) guarantees to streaming video ove...

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) video streaming is the fastest growing application of the Internet. One of the main challenge is to provide a high quality of service through the dynamic behavior of the network because a peer may join or leave anytime. Currently, P2P streaming network exist two types of users: streaming users who use mobile devices with 3G/4G connection expect to watch the live video immedia...

Performance Analysis and Network Path Characterization for Scalable Internet Streaming. (May 2008) Seong-Ryong Kang, B.S., Kyungpook National University; M.S., Texas A&M University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dmitri Loguinov Delivering high-quality of video to end users over the best-effort Internet is a challenging task since quality of streaming video is highly subject to network conditions....
