P2P Networks vs Multicasting for Content Distribution
نویسنده
چکیده
Multicast seemed the only possible technique for one/many-to-many content distribution over many years. However we never had a world-wide content distribution network based on multicasting excluding some small and preconfigured networks such as mbone. Fortunately, today we have lots of content distribution networks such as gnutella, BitTorrent, eDonkey and Napster. All of these networks are built on peer-to-peer networks. We are going to discuss why peer-to-peer networks are better than multicasting for content distribution applications.

A Distributed Mechanism for Economic Management of Transmission Infrastructure in Hybrid Cdn-p2p Networks
Hybrid CDN-P2P networks blend CDN and P2P technology to benefit from the complementary advantages of these technologies. In these networks, a critical challenge is to construct and maintain multicasting trees to distribute the content from distribution servers to the edge servers, clients and peers. In this work considering tight relation between internal and P2P layers of these networks, a sin...
متن کاملSearching and Streaming of Multimedia Content in P2p Overlay Network
A significant part of the Internet traffic is generated by peer-to-peer (P2P) applications. P2P used traditionally for file-sharing, and more recently for real-time communications and live media streaming. With little knowledge of the underlying network topology such applications discover a route to each other through an overlay network. P2P could be a promising start for enabling large-scale s...
متن کاملA Novel Caching Strategy in Video-on-Demand (VoD) Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Networks Based on Complex Network Theory
The popularity of video-on-demand (VoD) streaming has grown dramatically over the World Wide Web. Most users in VoD P2P networks have to wait a long time in order to access their requesting videos. Therefore, reducing waiting time to access videos is the main challenge for VoD P2P networks. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm for caching video based on peers' priority and video's popula...
متن کاملDelay-sensitive content distribution via peer-to-peer collaboration in public safety vehicular ad-hoc networks
Delay-sensitive content distribution with peer-to-peer (P2P) cooperation in public safety vehicular networks is investigated. Two cooperative schemes are presented and analyzed. The first scheme is based on unicasting from the base station, whereas the second is based on threshold based multicasting. Long Term Evolution (LTE) is used for long range (LR) communications with the base station (BS)...
