A Novel Caching Strategy in Video-on-Demand (VoD) Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Networks Based on Complex Network Theory

Enhanced Link based Congestion Control (ELCC) in Peer-to-Peer (P2P) based Video on Demand (VoD) System

Providing Video-on-Demand using Peer-to-Peer Networks

Digital media companies have recently started embracing peer-assisted distribution networks as an alternative to traditional client-server architectures. Such P2P architectures ensure a fast and scalable delivery of media content. However, one of the drawbacks of current P2P architectures is that users need to often wait for the full video to be downloaded before they can start watching it. Whi...

P VoD: Providing Fault Tolerant Video-on-Demand Streaming in Peer-to-Peer Environment

This paper presents a system for video-on-demand streaming in peer-to-peer environment. We start by realizing the major differences between two types of streaming: live and on-demand. These observations lead to a set of problems that need to be solved for a peer-to-peer video-on-demand system. To address these problems, we propose a solution, which includes detail algorithms for building and ma...

A novel caching mechanism for peer-to-peer based media-on-demand streaming

In recent years, peer-to-peer networks and application-level overlays without dedicated infrastructure have been widely proposed to provide on-demand media services on the Internet. However, the scalability issue, which is caused by the asynchronism and the sparsity of the online peers, is a major problem for deploying P2P-based MoD systems, especially when the media server’s capacity is limite...

A Peer-to-Peer Network Architecture for Distributed Video-on-Demand Appliances in Enterprise Networks

Video-on-Demand (VoD) applications have attracted a lot of attention recently and increasingly become a competitive factor on commercial consumer markets. Traditionally, these appliances rely on a client-server architecture where a single server or a cluster of servers stores content that is on request transmitted to the demanding client. VoD servers are expensive and significantly increase the...
