Delay-awareness in Push/pull Streaming Protocols

چکیده
P2P video streaming is receiving enormous attention, and when video is involved, the efficient use of the network becomes a very important issue, specially if live applications are addressed. In this work we study properties of Push/Pull protocols for the exchange of video chunks in non-structured systems. Push/Pull protocols are a broad class of chunk exchange mechanisms where peers alternate phases where they actively send chunks to other peers, with phases where they seek for missing chunks from other peers. We focus on the properties of the protocol, trying to gain insight on the distributed exchange mechanism itself. Then, we explore how performances can be improved if peers, in selecting the peers to exchange information with, also consider network level parameters, namely the round trip delay.

PALMS : Reliable P2P Live Media Streaming
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...
متن کاملPush-to-Pull Peer-to-Peer Live Streaming
In contrast to peer-to-peer file sharing, live streaming based on peer-to-peer technology is still awaiting its breakthrough. This may be due to the additional challenges live streaming faces, e.g., the need to meet real-time playback deadlines, or the increased demands on robustness under churn. This paper presents and evaluates novel neighbor selection and data distribution schemes for peer-t...
متن کاملCooperative Push/Pull Protocols for Live Peer-Assisted Streaming
Video streaming is rapidly becoming one of the key services of the Internet. Most streaming is today “on demand” and delivered via unicast delivery; however, many applications require delivery to many end-users and the lack of ubiquitous IP multicast remains a weakness of the Internet. Given this scenario, the peer-to-peer (P2P) or peer-assisted communications is an appealing solution, especial...
متن کاملExploring a QoS Driven Scheduling Approach for Peer-to-Peer Live Streaming Systems with Network Coding
Most large-scale peer-to-peer (P2P) live streaming systems use mesh to organize peers and leverage pull scheduling to transmit packets for providing robustness in dynamic environment. The pull scheduling brings large packet delay. Network coding makes the push scheduling feasible in mesh P2P live streaming and improves the efficiency. However, it may also introduce some extra delays and coding ...
متن کاملSNAP: SNowbAll multi-tree Pushing for Peer-to-Peer Media Streaming
Given the respective advantages of the two complimentary techniques for peer-to-peer media streaming (namely tree-based push and mesh-based pull), there is a strong trend of combining them into a hybrid streaming system. Backed by recently proposed mechanisms to identify stable peers, such a hybrid system usually consists of backbone trees formed by the stable peers and other overlay structures...
