Abstract
We have developed PeerStreaming, an on-demand peer-to-peer
(P2P) media streaming system. The behavior of a PeerStreaming client is
very much like an ordinary media player: it streams and plays whatever
media the user de-sires, starting at whatever point he/she desires.
However under the hood, the media is delivered from multiple peers to
the client. The serving peers can be the media server, but more commonly
are the clients that have received the media in a previous streaming
session. Leveraging the network and storage resources of the P2P network
and retrieving a majority part of the media from nearby peers,
PeerStreaming greatly improves the streaming media quality, reduces the
server load, and eases the traffic on the network.
