In recent year, Peer-to-Peer (P2P) approach for media streaming has been studied extensively. In comparison to on-demand media streaming, P2P live media streaming faces a much stringent time constraint. In order to improve the performance metrics, such as startup delay, source-to-end delay, and playback continuity, we present PALMS, a P2P approach for live media streaming where node employs gos...

Peer-to-peer (P2P) systems are becoming a popular means of streaming audio and video content but they are prone to bandwidth starvation if selfish peers do not contribute bandwidth to other peers. We prove that an incentive mechanism can be created for a live streaming P2P protocol while preserving the asymptotic properties of randomized gossip-based streaming. In order to show the utility of o...

Currently Internet hosting centers and content distribution networks leverage statistical multiplexing to meet the performance requirements of a number of competing hosted network services Developing e cient resource allocation mechanisms for such services requires an understanding of both the short term and long term behavior of client access patterns to these competing services At the same ti...

Video streaming is expected to account for a large portion of the traffic in future networks, including wireless networks. It is widely accepted that the user datagram protocol (UDP) is the preferred transport protocol for video streaming and that the transmission control protocol (TCP) is unsuitable for streaming. The widespread use of UDP, however, has a number of drawbacks, such as unfairnes...

High definition video is defining a new age of peer-to-peer (P2P) video streaming over the public Internet. Simultaneously achieving a resolution-scale upgrade, e.g., providing 1Mbps streaming to a commercial scale of customers, presents new challenges. In contrast to previous measurement studies that crawl commercial applications like a black box, we present a new approach: fine-granular, cont...

Peer-to-peer streaming has emerged as a killer application in today’s Internet, delivering a large variety of live multimedia content to millions of users at any given time with low server cost. Though successfully deployed, the efficiency and optimality of the current peer-to-peer streaming protocols are still less than satisfactory. In this thesis, we investigate optimizing solutions to enhan...

Along with internet broadcasting technology, cloud broadcasting is gradually becoming the development tendency to audience view. But the problems which existed in cloud environment also may affect in cloud based multimedia streaming service area. In this paper, we proposes an approach of risk management for multimedia streaming service in cloud computing. Through previous study, we recommended ...

This paper presents a case of video streaming system for mobile phone which has actually been implemented and deployed for commercial services in CDMA2000 1X cellular phone networks. As the computing environment and the network connection of cellular phones are significantly different from the wired desktop environment, the traditional desktop streaming method is not applicable. Therefore, a ne...

Due to the recent spread of different styles of watching movies, streaming using Peer-to-Peer (P2P) technology has attracted great attention. In P2P streaming systems, to distribute the network load, since peers from which the user receives data are selected at random, clients have to wait until their desired data are delivered. Therefore, many researches are attempting to reduce the waiting ti...

As the intense academic interest in video streaming over peer-to-peer(P2P) network, more and more streaming protocols have been proposed to address different problems on this field, such as QoS, load balancing, transmission reliability, bandwidth efficiency, etc. However, to the best of our knowledge, an important component of any practical P2P streaming system, the streaming service discovery,...
